Request for Interview Form

This form will give me a good understanding of what type of care you need and whether or not I can accommodate your needs. This form also helps shorten the interview, as it answers most of my question. This means more attention will be given to your questions and the sooner you can get your little one home to bed.

Please make sure you fill out every question with a "*" or the form will not send.

Waiting List

My waiting list is not first come first served. When a spot opens up I contact (email) all those looking for care around the time of the opening. I have those who are still looking for care to come in for a follow up interview, to make sure you still like my program. Once I have re-meet with all those who are still looking for care, I will decide who gets the spot.

Please note that being on my waiting list does NOT guarantee you a spot.
There is NO fee for going on Valerie's Play House Waiting List.
