(I noticed the new generation now used a lot facebook or Google searches. And it seems easy to post online a handbook so at least when they come they have already read it.)
I noticed that too.I would send them my web site and that way expect them to read it and find everything they need to know about me and my day care.Also to cut the time during their first interviews.This way we would focus on seeing each other personally already knowing whatever is important,and they could ask any questions based on the web site or if they are concerned about something in the content of the web site.Most of the people are fine with everything,some read,some don't even ask many questions even if they did not read it through.The most important questions I ask and answer for them ,so we don't have any confusions later![]()
(Though,sometimes they forget the rules later anyway)
Some parents,and that is how I know they are not going to be good candidates,like to ask all the questions that are already in my hand book with answers..I feel like they think that I just copy and pasted all the content and made the hand book based on somebody else's ideas) It feels so weird,like they are testing my honesty?! Those people never chose to bring their child,and I was always grateful for that..less stress in the future for sure.
I also had some parents who would look at me like they are trying to get into my brain while I speak and find something hidden or catch me lying or something
Ahh,all the fun stuff we go through having this business![]()
