Think about your interviewing process. Don't take on people who show you any red flag in the interview. Let them know it's your way for all the children in your care and THEY need to make sure their child is on YOUR schedule before they start daycare.

Make sure families will work with you regarding consistency at home and daycare and stress to them that it is for the health of their child. Make sure the families are on the same page as you regarding childrearing philosophies.

If you take on people who are idiots and give you stress and pain what good is that? I feel so bad for those children but we can't save them all and have to think about our own happiness. We can only help 5 families at a time.
