Rant: Who own's this business!
Just need somewhere to let off some steam!!!!:glare:
I must remember that my daycare business is just that, my daycare business, and that my family come first. :thumbsup:
I have been having some issues with a DCG (17 months) in terms of her eating while with me (she doesn't eat well at home either) and the DCPs have been asking my advice & agreeing with everything I have been doing at "my" daycare since the problems arose, or so I thought. :no:
Over the last week the mother told me she wanted to up the DCGs intake of milk to 35oz! I mentioned that this was high & that it may compound the food issue, but I would of course do as they asked as they are the parent. Her food intake did go down & then they started to question me as to why. :rolleyes:
In addition to this they have been one of these sets of DCPs who will take full advantage of the hours you are open i.e. 7:30am drop off on the dot & pick up at 5:30pm - a little later sometimes. If they had a day off DCG would still be sent, I know they pay for me to look after their child.....but in became increasingly sad to see her only have weekend parents :thumbdown:
So anyway, today (Civic holiday in Ontario) I've received email notice from the parents that they no longer wish to send their daughter to me. They are using some contract changes I have made to hide what is the real reason :huh:
Don't get me wrong, I'm actually relieved that this is happening :wave:, just a little put out that the DCPs couldn't talk it through properly with me first. And that I have consistently put myself and my family out to accommodate them......no more......lesson learned :thumbup:
Is this a common issue in the Home Daycare world?
