I tell parents that just like they are interviewing me, I am doing the same.

I also tell them that I am very selective in who I bring into our program We have a tight knit community of children that all work well together for the benefit of one another.

I would just tell them that based on the behavior that you saw and the fact that the child does not nap, that the child would not be a good fit for your program.

I however, would maybe just focus on the nap... Every child in our care is required to nap daily. Any child who no longer needs a nap has out grown our program.

Do you have a trial period? I would have given it a week and then make the decision. I feel that children will always listen better without parents around. Especially once they learn what the expectation and boundaries are at daycare.
