Yes...I actually would NEVER place my child with a daycare provider who said I could not drop-in unannounced and pick up my child. As a parent, I do feel this is my right because that is MY PRECIOUS BABY I have left with you and it is my responsibility as a parent to ensure his/her safety and well-being. I loved my son's home daycare provider and felt I could trust her...but I also know that things are not always as they seem and one can never be too careful. I never disrespected her or asked her to change her routine...I just felt it was for my child's safety to drop-in once in awhile and pick him up early. Kidlove...have you ever had any of your chidlren in daycare? While I understand how you feel, I just relaly think we have to put ourselves in the shoes of parents...it doesn't mean she doesn't trust you or like you...she is just making sure her child is safe.
