I don't have any rules and I have a real problem keeping socks on my daycare children! I would never wash their feet, do you really do that? I send them home as is, sometimes it's pretty dirty but I've never had a parent complain. It means they had fun.
I make all mine who refuse to wear socks inside use wipes to clean there feet before entering my house. Who wants extra dirt in the house, on the floors, on the couch, on the playmats! Not me! Soapy water bucket sounds like a great idea!
If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
