Pick up / drop offs

[michellesmunchkins]

Most of my families do this and it drives me nuts too. Especially when they know my kids have activities booked for 6pm, yet they don't pick up until 5:45 leaving us late arriving every night. My daughter has actually driven by one of their houses on the way to run an errand for me and there they were sitting on the porch enjoying their alone time.

Effective in Sept I am changing my contracts to say 9-10 hours of care. Anything more than that and you are required to pay extra. Too many of them are using the full 12 hours and taking advantage which makes for very long days for me! Part of being a parent is having to grocery shop and cook dinner and clean the house WHILE your child is home. These parents spend NO time whatsoever with their child. She goes home, eats and goes to bed.
