I live in the country and when I'm out and at night my doors are locked. In the morning I unlock my door at 645 which is when I open and not a minute before. My outside garage door is always unlocked (unless I'm Not home) and parents come in thru the garage and down the stairs into the daycare. I never used to lock the door and I never had a problem until one day a parent asked if I could do a really big favor and take her child at 6 instead of 645. So I agreed and I woke uP that morning at 530 and got dressed and brushed my teeth ect and came out to the kitchen to put on the kettle to make tea and I could hear her and her child in my basement at 540am ..... I went down stairs and she had turn on all my lights and was letting her kid run around my basement using his outside voice .... I was shocked and totally pissed and I said to her " oh your early I'm not ready" I went up stairs made my tea and sat on my couch till 6 ...... My door is locked from now on. I will never open early again for anybody. My families know that if the staircase light is on I'm open.
That is crazy! Who shows up 20 minutes early when it's already a day they are getting a favour and then lets themself in? Holy Man!! I would have spoken to her about respecting personal space for sure.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
