The only thing I have for teachers is that they pay half fees over the summer to hold their space. Other than that, they pay the same as everyone else.

I wouldn't be opening my door to let her in until 7. Does she how up at the grocery store 10-15 minutes early and expect to get in to start her shopping? I'm thinking not. Keep our door looked and...

You need to do what is right for you. If you feel you took on to much then you need to fix it so you are comfortable and confident. I have 6 kids here under the age of 2 plus my 2 school aged kids...

4 days/week is considered full time in my daycare too so they pay full time rates. Trying to fill that 1 day/week spot is very hard not to mention transitioning a child at 1 day/week would be hell....

In my contract it stated deposits are nonrefundable. I wouldn't be giving it back to them. The deposit is to protect you for exactly this kind of thing.

This! Rough play is never a good idea in daycsre...ever! I would put a stop to it immediately!

Yes, I also have a permission form that gives me permission to photograph the children and use the photos for various things.

Sorry this is a bit off topic to start and it's something that always irritates me but why does everyone always say/feel this? You CAN say that and feel that. There is nothing wrong or to be ashamed...

Yup, I agree with this. I start them when they are capable of following the nap time rules and understanding that they are to NOT get off their cot. I find that this is usually between the age of 2 -...

I would say it takes up to a year to get full. You need to figure out what you have to offer that the others don't. Also, if there are a bunch of new providers opening up...chances are, they are in...

I haven't set one foot in a gym. Everything I've done has been at home. I bought a treadmill because I don't/didn't feel comfortable running outside. I bought a used (and old) weight resistance...

I did a complete life style change the end of April last year. I joined Myfitnesspal.com and haven't looked back. I've lost 42 pounds, toned my body and gained muscle. I've lost over 20" off of my...

My youngest is 7 and she goes to bed at 7:30 on school days and 8 - 8:30 on weekends. We have supper between 5:45 - 6:30. My 12 year old goes to bed at 9:30 on school nights and 11 on weekends. Is...

This is what I'm thinking...

She cries off and on all day...aside from nap time. It's a pissed off cry. She is mad to be here. She was here for 2 days in a row with mom dropping off and she did...

So my newbie dcg has been here this week and what a drastic change from the first 2 days she was here...and not a good change. The first 2 days dcm dropped off, it was awesome, she barely cried, was...

My "normal" hours are 7:30 - 5 but I have 1 family that pays me extra to start at 7 (although they are rarely here right at 7...it's usually about 10 after). I have accepted another family in that...

Yes, I owe money at tax time. It's usually anywhere between $800-$1100 depending on how much I made and my write offs for the year.

I wouldn't do a 5 am start even occasionally. That is EARLY!

All the kids sleep in our family bedrooms in a pnp (playpen) until they are about 2 - 2.5 years old. Then they move to a cot still in our family bedrooms. I have anywhere between 1 - 3 children/room.

The reason I charge when the option is given is because I have a separate d/c space. I can isolate my children away from the daycare area where I can not isolate a daycare child. I only close if my...
