Gosh dang it Nan. I just read the article about the interview process and you explain the concept of understanding group care so well that now I'm going to have to add some things to my parent packet. Can I borrow some of your wording from your article?

I especially liked this explanation "The following policies have been developed over the past 16 years of operating an in home child care. They are designed to meet the needs of the individual children and the group as a whole."

I would love to get my hands on a copy of your contract and handbook.

haha, thanks at least for asking! There are those that would just copy. But to set the record straight, the content on Daycare.com is copyrighted. You could rewrite it or just PM me with the portion you want to use. Maybe I can convince Nannyde to put her contract and handbook up for sale for a small fee. I will PM her.

Thanks for the compliment. I can tell you with great assurance the policies work and so does the contract.

Just p.m. Michael with the portion you want to use and he will take care of it.

I'm getting flooded with requests for these types of things and individual consulting. Although i can't answer all of them personally... you guys are welcome to put the requests in writing to Michael for content that is here on daycare.com.

For assistance with general daycare questions feel free to post on this thread or start a thread on the board. I will specifically answer any thread directed to me if you put the words Nannyde in the title.

If you would like private counselling regarding specific issues you are welcome to apply for a consult thru my consulting business. Daycare.com members will be given first priority for time slots and I will arrange them at your convenience.

Thanks guys I appreciate it. I definitely am going to take a serious look at my policies and take a hard look at how I'm conducting my business. I find that sometimes I forget that I do this for money and that I shouldn't over-extend myself and charge accordingly. I've already made my life alot easier by cutting back on the crafts and focusing more on open-ended art. I've also done away with worksheets which also cuts down on my costs. Parents are not paying me more to do this anyway. This is something that I added later on my own to clients that I already had enrolled so I'll only be going back to what they started with anyway.

What I quoted was what I wanted to use. I think parents forget that their dear little Suzie isn't the only child that I care for.
