The Interview That Saves You a Bad Enrolment

Finding the right family is about more than filling a vacancy. It's about building a partnership that supports children, families and your business. In this episode, I share my top tips for interviewing new families and explain how to make families feel welcome while finding out whether they're the right fit for your service. We cover the questions every family day care educator should ask about sleep, separation, behaviour guidance, family values, illness, communication and fees. I also share why being clear about your expectations from the very beginning can help prevent challenges later. If you've ever accepted an enrolment that didn't feel like the right fit, or want to feel more confident during family interviews, this episode will give you practical strategies to help you attract families who align with your values and your approach to early childhood education.
