Asking for a Review after Interviews?

[Abigail]

Does anyone ask for a review from the potential families after you meet them and have an interview? I think it would be beneficial to me if their is a way for interviewed clients to give an anonymous review via the Internet or on paper and mail it to you. It would be helpful, especially when first starting out because I could find out what they liked best vs. (if they didn't choose me) what they didn't care for. If done by paper, it could be a general fill in the blank or five scale rating system and come with a pre-printed return envelop with adequate postage.

What are your viewpoints on this?

Also, do you keep track of who comes for an interview and how? Thanks!

I've never thought about doing that and probablly wouldn't.

This is an interesting idea, especially if you're just starting out. I couldn't do it since I don't do very many interviews these days, and the ones that I do are always referred to me by someone I know. You should post here if you decide to do it, it would be interesting to see how it works!

I am thinking about doing it. My daycare will not open until at least spring time. I'm working on my policies this month....I'm going VERY detailed, lol. I was thinking of having a simple one-sheet of basic questions and a pre-stamped envelop back to my daycare. I'm thinking of questions to include. Let me know if you think of any!
