Bad start....

[Judy Trickett]

YOUR DAYCARE - YOUR RULES

You should not bend your core values and rules or you will only become resentful, bitter and hate every minute of your job.

I think one of the biggest hurdles for new providers is the interview process. You really need to get a "feel" for people and how they are in the interview. Once you become more experienced at interviewing Red Flags will be seen to you very obviously and for those types you can give a big old................NEXT!

The other thing you need to decide is Who You Are. This is important because who you are will be reflected in the type of daycare you want to have and that will also come out when interviewing parents. If you don't even know who you are, as a provider, then how are parents to know? You know?

Just keep working on it. Your first year is your biggest year for learning what does and does not work. You will be hit by the swing many times over.
