A Texas daycare owner implements a two-week trial period for new families to assess alignment with the program. During this period, the daycare establishes rapport with the child, while parents gauge suitability. If discrepancies arise, such as undisclosed behavioral or medical issues, the trial period allows for recognition of incompatibility. The policy has garnered mixed responses, with many appreciating the transparency, while some critics believe it may not allow sufficient time for adjustment. Overall, the trial serves to protect both children and caregivers from potential mismatches in expectations or needs.
At my daycare center, I have a two-week trial period for all new families. When a family decides they want to enroll with me, I make sure I discuss with them how we have a two-week period where we are getting to know your child and your child is getting to know us.
Sometimes parents don't disclose their children's more severe behavioral or medical problems, which the center might not be equipped to accommodate. A two-week window usually reveals whether my center and its structured curriculum is a match for students.
