As a provider, what questions should I be asking PARENTS in the interview?

Question:There is a lot of information out there on what parents should ask providers. I know I should be interviewing the family to see if they are a good fit for my childcare situation, but what should I ask?

Answer: This is a very smart question Becky. You have realized that it is easier to say no to a family before you start care than it is to terminate them once you do. This is so important I have spent time writing about it in two places. Check out my web page Interview Check List.
