Need some advice

Yes and I would also add that I also do allow parents to drop in unexpected to check on their child (as long as they take the child with them when they leave)...although I do prefer it not be at naptime. This is to ensure that parents are able to check up and know that their child is safe and well-cared for at all times. I've never had a parent actually do it, but I did it when my child was in daycare. However, that would not be a daily or weekly thing...just once in awhile especially in the beginning. I remember that my daycare provider had an 11am drop-off rule too when my son was in care...I didn't fully understand it either at the time and it wasn't all that convenient for me, but I followed the rule out of respect for her as I figured she had the rule for a good reason. i wish I had been able to come on here and have the benefit of all these other providers to help me understand! I think it can be hard to understand what it is like to be a daycare provider if you haven't done it...I really congratulate you for coming on this forum and learning from all of us and taking the time and effort to try to see the other side. I would encourage you to come back for any other questions or support as this forum has a bunch of really knowledgable and experienced providers who can help with all sorts of issues
