Strange. I've never had anyone (kids or parents) except a take-home snack. It wouldn't have even crossed my mind to provide one. Parents know what time I serve a snack so they should understand that...
-
Unless the parents insist on it, I might be inclined to give up on the bottle and keep working on the sippy cup. Have you tried different types of sippy cups? Perhaps she would be more likely to use...

How has it been the past couple of days since you initially posted? Did you talk to the parents?
For me, I do like to give parents the benefit of the doubt. I know that many parents don't...

I take 3 weeks off paid. However, I also have it written in my contact that any additional time off will be deducted from their fees (i.e. will be unpaid). I haven't had to do this yet, but agree...

I agree that it depends on the area. Where I live, I see a demand for good childcare, regardless of age. Many providers are able to fill their spots quickly. However, what I have noticed that there...

Yikes, I kind of feel lectured for sharing my experience of being a mom who had a two year old who would kick and screen on the front lawn, driveway or floor of my back seat for 20 minutes every day...

Aww, I feel for the mom. I was once in her shoes. When my daughter was two years old and in daycare, she did the exact same thing. She was normally a very well behaved child, but when it came time to...

I was actually going to say the same thing as 5 Little Monkeys. It sounds like he might still need a quick morning nap, which will hopefully lead to a longer nap in the afternoon.
-
I find it's pretty hard to say that at a certain age a child is required to be independent, as it really depends on when they start potty training and become consistent with it. I currently have a...

It's been a rough week due to some non-daycare related stuff happening. However, it's definitely affected my mood and I find every little thing the daycare kids do is irritating me today. I normally...
-
This is one of the reasons why I charge a flat monthly fee rather than charging by the day. That way, I get paid the same each month from all my clients regardless of my vacation time or stats. The...

Actually the parents of this child are going to continue to pay for a full-time spot, so I'm not losing any income. It's just that the father is understandably wanting to spending more time with his...

The father of a 2 year old daycare girl that I've only had for three months informed me today that he was laid off from his job. He's obviously feeling a lot of emotions about it all. He said that he...

I feel like I'm spending way too much money on food. I cook meals from scratch, using lots of fresh fruits, veggies and proteins. I also have a group of really good eaters. Last month alone, I spent...
-
So I might get push back here, but have to admit that the thought of having a day off each week to myself sounds wonderful! It's not that I don't love my kids and want to spend time with them. Rather...
-
For my children, it has nothing to do with expecting them to entertain or play with the other children. I don't expect that of the daycare kids, so I certainly wouldn't expect it from my own....
-
I had/have the same concerns, so I'm planning to put my 3 year son into preschool for the next couple of years ( I reside in a province where school doesn't start until age 5). Next year, he'll just...
-
I guess the way I see it is that my kids (ages 3 & 5) don't have the run of the house even when it's not daycare hours. They still have to ask me if they can have a snack and I have to approve what...
-
As long as my children are the same ages as the daycare kids that come, they will follow the same rules. Once they are older, they will have more freedom to do what they want during daycare hours....
-
Yes, charge for those days even if they don't come or are sick.
