When I was a parent with children in daycare....I received a daily sheet from one provider and later a communication journal from the second provider. I liked and appreciated both. I would read and recycle the daily sheets. I have actually kept the daycare journal from the second provider as a keepsake.

Now that I do care - I sometimes wonder if parents do appreciate the sheets or not or even read them. I put a bit about the day and notes etc. Sometimes I put something there about pymnt or closures just to see if they are reading them and so far so good. lol

Parents have also said how they enjoy the newsletters because they get to see the pics of the daycare and it helps them picture their child in daycare and what our days are like.

I did put a recycle sign on each paper so that parents hopefully get the hint to recycle the sheets they get
