Changing daycare operating hours

[Judy Trickett]

You just change your hours and go with it. If someone leaves over it then they leave. There is never gonna be a "good time" to make changes in your daycare because they always affect someone. So, you just do it and allow the cards to fall as they may.

I did this in my second year of daycare as well. I just decided I wasn't working 9.5 hours a day and changed it to nine hours. Sorry, but nine hours is long enough for both me and the kids. And, quite frankly, in daycare the longer you are open the longer parents WILL leave their kids there even when not needed. Sad, but true.
