Asking a potential client questions

[Jenniferdawn]

Is there a list anywhere on here of good interview questions for me to ask parents during the interview? I'm still new at this and don't feel like I do a good job asking the right kind of questions. Someone help me out here??? I have two interviews this week and want to be well prepared.

My first question is what they are looking for in a daycare, that way you can make sure to highlight those things in your interview. whether they say a safe place, or a place their kids will learn, or whatever, you can make sure you empasize those things. good luck!

I always ask for a reference from their previous childcare. One lady who was very interested refused to tell me. I told her I would not enroll her child without that information. She never came back. Good. Wasn't too sure about her anyway....never had one tell me about her husband's low sperm count especially with him standing right there.

Good thing you asked! I am going to always ask for reference info from now on!
