Not sure first 'interview' went well..

[Lee-Bee]

Everyone needs a few awkward first interviews to get better at it.

Mine were all pretty long, 1hr+. A large part of that was just sitting on the floor with the babies interacting while chatting with the parents.

I would reconsider your 3x a day outside as well. It is too much transition and really by the time you factor in snacks, lunch, nap there isn't much time to be going outside 3x. It means you would have very short chunks of time for activities which means less in-depth playtime for the older kids.

The less transitions the better when managing a group of young children. Depending on the age of your group and the helplessness of the children it can be quite the task to get them all dressed and outside. I wouldn't do that 3x a day, no matter how small my play space!!
