This is why I do not allow drop offs past 9:30am. It disrupts the flow of the day. If DCD mentioned that his son just woke up...I would have handed him back and told him that 1-3 is Naptime for your daycare. Non negotiable. Parents Fail or DON'T CARE that this is our only time to catch our breath, get our rest period, eat, prep for the afternoon snack, etc
