I've noticed that some home daycares state in their contracts that children cannot be in their care any longer than 9 hours a day. I was wondering if that is typical for most people. I'm open for 10 hours (7am to 5pm) and I have some parents who only bring their children for 8 - 9 hours but I also have another family who uses the full 10 hours even though the husband is off work earlier in the day and could pick his children up sooner if he wished. I find it to be such a long day for the children, but I was wondering what others felt? Thanks.
