I agree with playfelt; I also have it in my contract that parents are invited to drop by at any time to check on their child, but they must take the child home with them. I actually would never place my child in a daycare where the provider said I could not come and check. For me, as long as the parents take the child home, I encourage them to come and check for their own peace of mind. I think more parents SHOULD do this and should not feel badly about being concerned. After all, we are complete strangers who they are trusting with their precious babies and abuse and neglect can and does happen.
