What time do teacher's pick up thier kids?

[sunnydays]

I have only had one teacher parent and her kids were the first to be dropped off and the last to leave ever day (pick-up time was 5:30pm). And she was a supply teacher, so usually didn't have prep to do. She admittedly would go home, walk the dog, cook dinner, etc and then come and get the kids at the last minute. So, I think it depends more on the parents and less on their work hours or profession. Set your hours to something that works for you and then they will have to pick up by that time.

That would totally drive me right around the twist.... When I interview I find out where the patent works and what their working hours are and I basically give them driving time plus 15 mins. I know a lot of providers say that what a parent does when the child is in care doesn't matter cause that's what they are being paid for and I agree to a certain extent..... But seriously to go home and take a nap after work or go home and cook dinner and shower ... Please .... Unless their quitting time is during nap time then the parent should retrieve the child directly from work .... This is the main reason I cut my hours back from 5:30 to 4:30 cause the longer your open the longer people will leave their kids. JMO
