✅ 1: 

 Contact Luisa’s Child Care today for a brief Phone Consultation to enroll your child in a trusted and affordable Daycare in Amarillo, Texas.

 

Immediate or upcoming childcare openings may be available!

 

I want to help every parent and guardian by educating their child through the first years of their developing as an infant, toddler, and preschooler. 

 

When children attend quality child care during the first four years of their life, they are better prepared for School. Therefore, choosing quality care for your child is very important!

 

Please respect my time at home during childcare operating hours and when my home is closed for business. With this in mind, if you have any feedback or inquiries, please call me and leave a voicemail with the reason you are calling; including your child’s age, your full name, and phone number, during childcare operating hours. I will gladly call you back as soon as possible! 😊

 

Or you may submit the Inquiry Form, at the end of my Contact page, at your own convenient time. 

 

You are welcome to send me a brief text message, if this method of contact is preferred, but please identify yourself and be specific with your feedback or inquiry in order to receive a prompt and thorough reply.

 

✅ 2: 

 A Parent-Provider Phone Interview Appointment will be required before making an appointment to meet me in person and visiting my Daycare Establishment.

 

☑️ I greatly appreciate the time you have taken to read over my Website carefully and completely!

 

☑️ If you agree with, and accept all of the Terms & Conditions for the Child Care Services mentioned in this Website, then you are ready to request a Phone Interview Appointment. Please contact me as soon as possible, since openings may be available for a limited time! 

 

☑️ Please scroll down to the end of this page (Contact Page) and submit the “Inquiry Form” in order to request a phone interview appointment. 

 

☑️ After booking your appointment 🗓, I highly recommend spending some time preparing and getting comfortable with what you might be asked during our phone interview, what I am really looking for in your responses, and what it takes to show that your child’s needs will be compatible with my Daycare Program. 

 

☑️ Luisa’s Child Care official Website lets you know who I am and what are the specific child care services I can provide for your family.

On the other hand, our phone interview will help me know who you are, why your child is a good fit for my Program, and why we will make a great Team for your child’s overall loving care. 

 

☑️ You will most certainly have time to ask the questions that will help you decide if my Daycare Program and my role as a Childcare Provider might be great for you! 😊

 

☑️ The Phone Interview is NOT setup to negotiate/change the Daycare’s Policies and Regulations.

 

Regarding infants, by experience, I know that no matter what a baby’s temperament or social conditions, they have the same sleeping and feeding needs as any other baby. It is important for babies to have the best chance to meet their sleeping and feeding needs while attending any type of child care, whether it’s a commercial Day Care Center or an In-Home Day Care. 

 

Most babies are usually happy or satisfied once all of their needs are met. However, when it comes to temperament and behavior, all babies are different. It’s their temperament that governs their mood while they are awake. For this reason, every family has different child care needs, expectations, and requirements. 

 

I want your child to be comfortable and happy while under my care. This is why our phone interview is a fundamental part of the childcare enrollment process, and will also help you make the most informed decision about what’s right for your family!

​

*Formal Phone Interview Appointments (15 minutes-1 hour), are scheduled only three nights per week, (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday), 8:00pm-9:00pm, (may take longer than one hour), and must be booked no later than 6:00pm at least one day before the appointment date.
