Wearing nice clothes to Daycare

[mimi]

If the parents want to send their child in their church clothes that is up to them as they will get dirty/stained here. It is the footwear I have an issue with. I ask parents to send their children in shoes that are meant for running and playing and not about making a fashion statement.

There are a lot of very cute girls shoes out there, but I don't want to see them at daycare. Most are not meant for active play and some of these styles are just tripping hazards like flip flops and jelly sandals. You would think that after noticing your child comes home with scrapped knees everyday that a change in footwear might be needed.
I have had kids this summer who have grown out of their sandals with another month of warm weather to go whose toes are hanging out and getting scrapped and the parents say they don't want to spend the money.
