Very upset parent...

[Big Hearts]

I would tell her you need a break to have lunch, get stuff set up for the afternoon and do paperwork. Even if you don't do any of that you still need a break. even an hour just to regroup and have a coffee. That said kid needs to lay quietly till all kids are a sleep or for an hour but she then falls a sleep in the first place. And you are not going to wake her up. And clearly she needs a nap if she falls asleep. And yes get that hand book make up signed by all parents. I have had many times I have had to email or photo copy a page that they signed and highlighted a line showing or reminding the rules they agreed to. I don't sugar coat thing. I will be polite but this is your business and home don't let them tell you how to run it. Every daycare runs differently. I worked in a daycare before starting my own and we did get breaks. every room had two workers and we each took turns taking two 1/2 hr breaks.
