The authors I believe should made a distinction about when it is appropriate to do this ... for example, at a center it might be easier to do this but I don't believe that it's appropriate at all for a family child care home. Even then in a center usually they have a particular person who gives the tours, usually an administrator or one of the teachers. The day could possibly be scheduled so that this person is relieved or has the time for this interview for that particular time slot. Arriving early even to a center might sometimes mean that the person giving the tour may be unavailable.
As for Family child care ... these are our own private lives. My family for one is very active. If an interview came 55 minutes earlier than scheduled it could be possible that I wouldn't be home, was in another interview or was busy doing something else around my home ... like enjoying my family time

In that sense though I also think that an adult should also be able to take these things into consideration before they show up early to an interview even if they read somewhere that it is ok to do so if it's family child care KWIM.
