Pick up / drop offs

[Inspired by Reggio]

It doesn't bother me what they choose to do with their time while their child is in my care. They've paid for x amount of time, so they are allowed to use it up. I don't care if they're at work or at home so far as they pick up on time.

This is me as well with the added requirement that in an emergency I know HOW to to reach them ~ I do not want to waste precious time on hold at work only to find out 'oh they are off today' or what not

I will admit as a newbie it bothered me because I could not imagine the 'motivation' behind doing this value .... I struggled so hard to have kids if I had been blessed I would have wanted to spend every possible moment with them ~ as it is I dedicated my life to 'working with other peoples ids' because I am so passionate about giving kids the best foot forward in life ~ however as I became seasoned I learned there are many varied reasons 'why' a parent might decide their child is better off in childcare than home and I just have to trust that the parent knows 'best' when it comes to their skills and abilities in regards to this and that they truly feel this is 'best' for their child even if I do not agree and as long I am being paid and they are following the 'rules' it is not worth my energy to be all hot under the collar about it!

Not to mention if every parent shared our passion for wanting to be home with their children above all else ~ we would all be out of a job cause they would figure out a way to 'make it work' to not put their kids in the care of anyone else
