Pick up / drop offs

[Starshine]

My daycare families only bring their kids if they are working. If any of them have the day off, they stay home with the kid(s). If they get off work early, they come here to pick up early. It's great when the parents want to spend time with their kids, yes. I have a 10-hour limit in my contract, and I'm thinking of lowering that to 9 hours next year as I find the odd 10-hour days really hard on the kids. I can't imagine working 12 hours every day--I would not set my hours to be available that long!
