Ideas For Positive Interactions with Parents

Your relationship with parents is a vital part of your business success. In fact, when you have positive interactions with parents, this will increase your chances of parents telling others about you. Moreover, people love to do business with friendly people.

Today I am going to share with you, how to have positive interactions with parents upon arrival and at pick-up time.

Arrival Time

Upon arrival,  be sure to greet the parents and children with a warm smile and by saying  “Good Morning!” Also as the parents leave to go off to work, don’t forget to say,”Have a Great day.”

Moreover, as the parents and the children are saying their good byes, make sure that you are available to answer any questions  that the parent may have.

Pickup Time-

As parents arrive to pick-up their children, greet them with a warm hello and a smile. Moreover, be sure to ask; “How was your day?”

Also, be ready to give the parents some encouraging words, because you just may have a parent that had a bad day.

If you are a home provider, keep the conversation brief, so that you do not take your focus away from the other children in your care. If the parent is a talker….. simply say, I would love to finish this conversation with you, however I must get back to work or to the children.

A Positive interaction with parents at arrival and pick-up time sends the impression that you care, you are grateful for their business and that you are Professional.  Also, People love to do business with friendly people!

Welcome Parents and Visitors With Shamrocks

I am always in search of festive ideas to liven up my sign in area. In fact, I want parents to be excited to sign their children into my program and to periodcially be welcomed with seasonal or holiday related decor.

 So, I decided to add a touch of shamrocks to the sign in table. I found these cute little stickers at the local grocery store along with some St. Patrick’s day buttons for my staff.

How do you liven up your sign-in area? If you have some really festive sharock ideas, feel free to post your pictures on the Child Care Business Owner Facbeook Page!
