1st week of center opening

[Suzie_Homemaker]

How did you manage all new children on your 1st week or couple weeks?

It will take a full year to fill all your spaces with quality client's so the odds of opening on day one, with a full quota are low.

If you are lining up children now for a future opening date, I would seriously consider phasing them in over a few weeks. Transitioning a new child is still the hardest part of the job. The new children often follow the herd in the first few weeks which helps. To have potentially 8, none knowing the lay out or the routine while you are also adjusting might not be the wisest move - for yourself, your clients or the children.

I would take them in two at a time, allow a couple weeks to find your rhythm and to tweak your routine and then add in the next two.

Personally. I don't like the couple hours gradual phase in. It's fake situation, more like a play date and it's confusing to the others as to why one child is leaving a couple hours after coming.
