This is business. What you find petty, I find necessary. As a business, if you want something to stop, attach a fee to it. It's an effective way to stop a behavior pretty quickly!
And yes, I charge...

Do I make parents responsible for their child when they are present? Absolutely yes!
I would write up an addendum that would need to be signed and returned stating:
Subject: Closing Time

I think those of us that said our kids didn't have to participate would still be using common sense with our expectations of our own children. Even though I don't force my children to play with the...

Once my kids were old enough to play in their own house without direct supervision, I let them. For my son, it was 5 years old, for my daughter it was 4.
This is their home and they are ENCOURAGED...

I'm assuming you probably verbally agreed to drop off a deposit and take the spot, which is why she's upset- since it takes time and effort to fill our spots and if we turn other people down while...

I hope it went well!
Let us know that you're ok too!!

Oh my goodness.
Honestly, I think it's a huge liability to let that family come back for even one more day.
I would terminate effective immediately and tell them you'll mail the 2 day refund.

I also am a firm believer that teething does not cause...

So, let me get this straight.
She expected you to get dressed, get all the other kids you care for dressed, and risk everyones safety's in bad weather conditions to retrieve her child and all WALK...

You've gotten great advice. I just wanted to chime in about how you asked if it was ok to confront the issue.
This is your business, your decision, your rules.
So many of us forget this way too...

While I understand this, I disagree to a degree.
I don't allow parent visits during daycare hours for the safety of myself, my business and my daycare children.
If a parent is here with a full...

I'm not specifically referring to anyone.
If it works for you, that's great.
I certainly don't mean to come across harsh, but I personally just feel that no parents are going to look out for your...

Do what's right for YOU and your family.
Yes, we want to be "nice" and accommodating. But where does nice get you when you let them call the shots and you're left struggling to fill the spots later...

I'm right there with you!
For the most part, my current families are pretty good about payment. But there are the occasions where someone pays me late, which just so happened this week.
