Yeah well of course if they pay a full day and I'm open from 7am to 5pm they are in their ''rights'' to drop off at 7am sharp even if they said it might be 7h30-8am... what can I say... I'm open. But... it does bother me if they show up early one day, late the other etc etc. I come down in my daycare at 7am, if no one shows up in the next 5 min. I go upstairs continue getting ready and I have a buzzer when they open the door I hear it upstairs and so I come back down. They cant tell me to have my face at the door when they come in, and they are use to it now !

Although once one arrived at 6:55am and since then, the door is locked and the lights are off until 7am sharp. Last week, I had 2 parents waiting outside the door and I could see them through the curtain hahaha they couldnt say anything :P

I guess thats the advantage of having the daycare seperated from the rest of the house, with its own door. If one day one has the nerve to come ring upstairs because its locked downstairs and they have to go ... I'll probably give some ''what the ....'' and charge 5$ extra if you want to drop off early without asking first. I dont mind helping out one day if they are stuck but all the time, big no no. But thats never happened to me yet so, we shall see.

Grrrr parents >
