Not sure if you told the families why you were taking the time off. If not then that will help probably in the sense that it isn't like you are booking a cruise somewhere. You are going to help your mother with a medical emergency and when is based on the hospital. It lets them know that this is not the norm and not likely to happen again for a long time.
Agreed, very good point
Children are great imitators.
So give them something great to imitate.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
