I don't have appointments during daycare hours. If it is something that can't be scheduled in the evening, then I book off the time well in advance and close the daycare early that day (it hasn't happened to me yet, but I would if I had to). I let parents know in my interviews that I do sometimes drive the kids in my van, but only when I have kids away so numbers are down and then it is for the purposes of a fun outing such as a museum for a special treat. I don't run errands or do anything of that sort during daycare hours. I have to drop-off and pick-up my son at the bus stop for school, but parents know about that and we walk. Other than that, my husband takes the kids to appointments etc. When my kids are older and if I feel I need to take them to activities etc, I will either make my daycare closing time earlier or check with parents during interviews about this. Perhaps they are upset because it seems it is becoming a regular thing rather than a once in awhile and that is not what they understood when they signed on with you?
