That isn't always true so I wouldn't use that as the basis for debate. Sometimes siblings cost LESS to provide for. It all depends on how you bill and what you charge for.

When one is absent,...

I love the paycheck, setting my own hours, NOT having to deal with anyone I don't want to deal with and being able to take off any day I need to take off without having to have it approved by anyone....

I am not sure how insurance works where you live but where I live here in the U.S, as soon as someone in the household gets their license, your insurance goes up. It doesn't matter if they drive...

I was closed for two weeks as well and like Momof4, mine were all so happy to be back that I think the first week back, was the best week we've had in a long time! They were all so tired from not...

I do this same thing. NO toys from home. The only difference is I don't send the toys back or put it in their baskets. I consider anything brought from home a donation to daycare. It usually...

Ugh, that is a tough one. I am a mandated reporter though and that just might fall under that category. I don't know for sure.

I guess depending on the relationship I personally had/have with...

I also think he is with grandma. I would simply copy the contract she signed, hightlight the section stating there are no refunds and e-mail it to her.

I would also include a short note telling...

Hoping everyone had a fantastic holiday and a wonderful new year's !!!

May business be bountiful, may the days be sunny and bright, may parent issues be non-existant (or at least manageable) and...

I am paid the same rate 52 weeks a year. Parents get a specific number of days off depending on their enrollment status. (EX: 5 days per week attendance = 5 days per year no charge) Families...

I disagree that if a parent gave you prescription meds that you would HAVE to dispense. I choose not to. We are business owners and we make our rules and policies. If a child in my care needed...

Wow! That is kind of scary! Are you having to dispense any of it to the child or did the parents just alert you to the fact that the child is on it?

I'd be really leary of having to give any...

I am the odd duck here and schedule my interviews DURING daycare hours. I also do 2 or more interviews, depending on the situation and the family. I do the first one as a get to know the needs of...

I agree with daycarewhisperer. I think way too much focus and attention is placed on things our parents never even gave a second thought to. I think that if we give this much attention and time to...

I agree with both of you but like Momof4, I think that sometimes, some kids ARE a lot harder to get adjusted than others and I can't devote all my time to helping one child adjust to care while I...

Like I said before, I don't have any idea why your sister gets a bonus or why she doesn't. I know nothing about those types of businesses except that bonuses to CEO's has had a significant impact...

Yes, I was referring to someone who is actually your neighbor. (She posted about not getting anything...not even a thank you) ;)

The concept of building the bonues or gift you want from parents...

Like I said, I am not allowed to continue trying to prove my point. But I will respond to your post.

Your neighbor did not receive a single thing for Christmas from her parents. Nothin', nada,...

Yes, you can feel however you want. I don't have to understand (I don't) and you are certainly allowed to feel whatever you want when you want...but you are basically saying you have that right but...

Thank you. This is EXACTLY what I am talking about. WHY do you feel they have to give you anything? Why do providers feel that appreciation in the form of cards or gifts are something we have the...

Thanks for the insinuation but I am NOT clairvoyant. I am simply stating what I "see" other providers posting about on other forums. There are several and a few of them actually have threads more...
