Run your daycare the best way for you so that you are happy and confident that you are doing a great job. You can't please all the people so you will attract the kind of clients who like your methods. I started out with a menu but the parents didn't pay any attention to it anyway so I was stressing myself out trying to stick to a menu for no real reason. Now I give the info about what their children ate during the day to the parents who want to know at the end of the day and don't bother with the parents who trust me enough not to need that info.
