My policies are on my website, I email them the link before I every set up an interview. I tell them to schedule an interview once they've read them and use them to ask questions at the interview. Most of those people set up an interview and my policies are long! There have been many times a family is gung ho about coming to my daycare before and even during the interview and then I never hear from them again.
I'm pretty sure I know what happens in these cases. The did read or at the least browse my policies and like many thought "this one doesn't apply to me" or "I'm sure she has flexibility with this one" and then we interview and I bring up policies, they ask their questions (most of which wanting me to be flexible) and when they hear no they disappear. These are the clients who had a provider in the past who had policies that she didn't enforce. They're under the belief that policies are flexible..at least for them. When you interview and you don't come across as spineless their faith in getting their way dwindles and they continue their search for their perfect provider.
Good riddance!
