Thats excellent! So we all are basically on the same page. I do have a white board posted on my mudroom wall where I list the daily menu on one side and on the other list our schedule and hours so they SHOULD know by now which is why I don't say much. I don't say much as all of my kiddos are aged 12-15 months so I am still prying them out of their parents arm and the longer the parent lingers the worse it is so we don't say much.
At pick up I hate that awkward silence. Some parents like to chat and its usually about personal stuff. Guess I am the first person they see so want to vent a little. I usually just smile and nod hehe. I may say something like, if there was hitting or time outs, or no poop or lots of poop or things with the eating, trying something new etc.
