I couldnt imagine having my doorbell rang all day long, waking kids/babies, making my dogs crazy...no thanks. I have open door here, parents dont knock, they just come in. I find it annoying to have to drop what I am doing to open the door for everyone. They come in take kids shoes and coat off and I finish what I am doing then greet the child and parent. Spose my play area is also in living room which is also near the front door. everyones different.
I have three families - 2 knock, the other one walks in. They had their previous child in daycare and I guess that's the way they did it. I don't mind it, but its not something I would like if everyone did it. Mostly bc if I were a parent, I wouldn't like to know that the door was always unlocked, giving any crazy the ability to just walk in. We've had a few home invasions recently in the area, but more than that, I've had companies my landlord hired walk into the wrong house (a few times). I would hate being at work knowing it's possible for just anyone to walk into my child's daycare. For the most part, my door is always locked. This morning the door was locked when mom got here and she was stalk still for a sec like she didn't know what to do lol and then she knocked. I just hadn't let my dog out yet so I hadn't unlocked the door yet from night time lol
