Grace period?

[PattyCake]

This may sound strange but since changing my hours from 7am to 7:30am I'm not as sticky with clients who come early...I did have a client who would drop off their two kids at like 6:50-6:55 and THAT annoyed me because it was before 7am, however when a 7:30 drop off turns into 7:25 it really doesn't bug me.

Everyone is different in how they run their daycares. If it doesn't bother you, then it's not an issue. I am bothered by it, especially since it has never happened to me before and I don't want to go down this slippery slope.

Yes you are right, if it's bothering you then of course it's an issue...before when my 7am drop off did bother me, I sent out an email to my clients advising that if my hallway light was on then they could come in, if not, they had to wait....I only allow a grace period for pick ups when there's bad weather, and I stick to my policy and charge my late fees when needed.
