I like that bright sparks that its right in your contract.

Thanks sunnydays. This mom is tricky. Just today she showed up early. Most days late but occasional she shows up an hour early so I of course didn't have everything ready to go. So annoying.

That client would no longer be at my daycare. An hour early? No way, not here. I do not put up with any disrespect. She isn't tricky, she's rude and walking all over you as if you are her employee. To be blunt, I would be advertising and interviewing to get rid of her as fast as possible. You deserve better and you are a business owner not a nanny!

I have my daycare in the basement but my basement is levelled to the backyard because its a walkout... and so it has its own entrance in the back. I unlock the door at 7am sharp since I had a parent walk in 5 minutes earlier. I have no big issues with parents leaving before I close at 5pm they are really fast to leave, they dont hang around, so far !

When my parents enter my daycare I have a door that separate the ''coat'' room and the kitchen area and then another door that enters the playroom. It states in my regime that no parents are aloud to circulate in the daycare for the wellbeing of other children, and I do make sure I mention and they react to the info lol so they know from the start that they can not cross the door to the kitchen area. When I first opened I didnt mentioned it to parents and one did walk right in and took forever for her daughter to AGREE to go, I had a appointment so I HAD to leave at closing, I literally had to say : hum I dont want to be rude but I have to go for a appointment like now so... Yeah she didnt hurry faster but I kindda had to kick her out. Since then, its no pass !!!

When my kids were in home daycares back then, one had her daycare on her main floor and I stayed in the entrance its was math science. Parents are soooo rude !

I think her coming in like she owns the place is just part of a larger issue here. She clearly feels like she's "the boss" of you. I don't mean that you're the boss, but it is a partnership. NO MORE ten minutes early and 1hr and 10 min late! I know you said she's only 10 min late, but if she is supposed to be here at 4 and shows up at 5:10, she is over an HOUR late. It's time to nip this in the bud.
I also don't like it when parents wander in. I do understand the desire to see where the child is spending it's day. But I hate feeling like I am caught off guard by a parent walking up behind me or something! I also pee with the door open and would be mortified if someone came in at that exact moment!! LoL
Not to mention, although I tidy up after all the kids are gone, the end of the day can look like a bit of a disaster has occurred. Toys strewn about, dishes in the sink. You know....
I am actually going this weekend to pick up an intercom/doorbell system to remedy this problem!

Thanks ladies that's how I feel like she's just trying to be in control. I like the mass email idea as well thanks for the ideas. Yes my house is a disaster by the end of the day too so it irritates me she comes in to see it this way ugh
