Assessment Sheet???

[daycare]

One of the other threads got me to thinking..

DOes anyone have or would it proper if we were to create an assessment sheet for the parents to answer questions about their child during the interview process?

If anyone has one can you share it with us?

Or lets make one.

I do think that if we really asked all of the right questions from the get go, we would all really have a much better understanding of what we were getting into and would know if we would be able to work with such a child or not.

I use an assessment sheet.

I tried attaching it, not sure it worked

For some reason it won't attach, but I am having problems saving the word file now at all. So not sure what is going on???

I do have one. I will copy and paste it here. I go through it verbally with the parents during the meet and greet to determine if I will accept their child. Our meet and greets are about 1.5 hours. It didn't paste very well, but here it is none the less.
