I am planning to change my hours once I have one more client (who will come in under the new hours)

I will be giving all my current clients 2 week notice of the change.

Could you please read over the letter I have written and let me now if its ok or if I should change any of the wording.

Thank you for your help


My hours are changing

As of ________, 2013 my new hours of operation will be 7:00am to 5:00pm.

Between _______, 2013 and July 1, 2013 my drop off and pick up times will be as followed:

Drop off between 7:00am and 8:00am, by the daycare clock.

If you will be late do to an appointment I will need in written at least 24 hours before hand. As of 8:00am I will no longer be answering my phone/door. If you are later then 8:00am, without notifying me 24 hours in advance, you will not receive care for that day. But since I am still open you will still have to pay for the day.

I am finding that having children show up at different times to be very disruptive to our schedule. It also confuses the child, making it harder for the child to adjust to daycare.

If there is a winter storm, this policy does not apply.

Pick up between 3:00pm and 5:00pm, by the daycare clock.

If you need to pick up your child before 3:00pm, You must pick up by 11:45am, as quiet time now starts at 12:00pm.

There will be NO pick ups between 12:00pm and 3:00pm. Starting in September 2013, I will be doing a school pick up at 2:20 and may or may not be back before 3:00pm.

As of 5:00pm, by the daycare clock, a late fee will apply to all who are still in the daycare. So if you need to talk to me or need to get your child ready, make sure you are here before 5:00pm. This does not apply to those family's who are with an agency. For all family's constantly being late will result in termination.

Starting July 2, 2013 The following will be the new drop off times:

In order to get the children use to the doing a school drop off each morning, the new drop off time will be:

Drop Off between 7:00am and 7:40am.

As of 7:40am we will be practicing a school drop off. We may or may not be returning to the daycare. If the weather is nice out we might have a picnic snack, so if you are not here by the time we leave you will not have care for the day. Since I am open you will still have to pay for the day.

If there is a winter storm this policy does not apply. In September no matter of the weather, if the schools are open I will be doing a school drop off and pick up. If there is a winter storm, I will be returning right after the drop off, so you can wait in the lobby until I return.


I am aware that the new drop off times mean some of you will have to be at work early. I have been there myself, when my oldest was in daycare. There were days when I would be at work 2 hours early. Children need structure and constancy, so I am putting there needs a head of yours.


I need this sheet signed and returned by _____________, 2013.

If I have not received this signed form by 5:00pm on the due date, I will consider not getting this signed form as your two week notice of termination and will fill our spot with another family.
