Wow for once ladies I have to disagree with you. I have been there, being a parent who brings my kids to daycare and if the daycare was open 7 to 5 then thats the hours I used. Yes of course its good to be consistent... and yes I offened arrived earlier then I was supposed to, but if it was breakfast time, I gave them breakfast at home knowing the provider didnt know they would come for breakfast. But you cant have your door locked until 8am if your contract says you open a 7am ?!?!?
Concerning meals, my meals are always at the same time : if you are not here by 8 am, you miss breakfast, by 9:30am you miss snack etc...
Yes I want parents to be consistent and its a pain if they arent, but what can we do... I rather be very stricked about no before hours and no late after hours then start arguing my open and close hours. I have enough stress as it is. They are paying a fee full day that they start at 7am or start at 8am... you will find yourself arguments where you cant argue. They are gonna ask for a hourly fee in that case !!!
I agree with saying, your first arrival is at 8am and you get ready for 8am but if one shows up before, when they know you are technically opened, you cant give them crap !! Once it happened, I was still in PJ, I just told the mother : sorry nobody usually arrives at that time. She didnt bother, as long as she could leave for work :\
