Why would arriving early not be treated the same way as arriving late for pick up? I charge parents $1 per minute for every minute they are earlier than their scheduled drop off time.

My family time before work is just as valuable as my family time after work and parents need to respect that.

I keep my door locked and don't open it until my first scheduled arrival.

If a parent arrives at my house early, they better park down the block because if I can see them, it makes me feel anxious and as if I have to open the door early because they are there...kwim?
