I don't know why many providers are angered by this! If the parent went to work the child would be in daycare anyway...if they want to do something else it doesn't make a difference to the child or to me as a provider as long as they are still picked up by the regular time. If they want to spend extra time with the child that's wonderful, but if they maybe need to rest or do some errands, maybe the child is better off at daycare than with a stressed out, burnt out parent.
Well said! It's really hard to make jusdments when you haven't walked a day in someone elses shoes!
If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
