    I have always had 6am starts and 6pm closing. I provide that as so many don't but there are lots of commuters who can't swing the typical hours. I cater to those commuters specifically. Really....and I say this in all honesty, a 6am start, although not the bestest thing ever, is really not a big deal. I started my daycare when my kids were 2, 3.5 and 9, so I also had morning routines to deal with. I think it sounds worse than it actually is, but really, your routine just develops and you fall into a groove. In actuality, I enjoy the early mornings with those one or two kids who need early care. They usually lay on the couch and watch cartoons till 7 or so, I get some coffee on, check my email, start breakfast.....it just sort of allows for a slow start to the day. I've never felt even close to burnout due to early starts and it might snag you a little bit of a niche market.

    Unless her comment was in relation to my comment about me telling the mom about Daycarebear. Since i posted on here looking for advice about this situation, maybe the mom could potentially come across my post and recognize the details and get upset that i was talking to others about the situation? That's the only thing i could think of, unless it is something else, and if it is, the please let me know!
