How would you respond??

[apples and bananas]

I don't have an open door policy. I understand some parents will be concerned, however, part of a home daycare is trust.

If this was one of my clients I would let them know that they are welcome to pick up their child whenever they'd like. However, I do not allow parents to drop in and leave again. They can call if they'd like. When a parent drops in and then leaves not only does it confuse their own child, it throws off the rest of the children.

All the best, I hope this parent doesn't become a problem for you.
