We go for a walk or to the park everyday. The parents know this. And they know that if they are not here by 9am no one will be here to accept their child.

Just be honest with her. And then, if she is still holding you up, you just leave. Put a sticky note on the door and let HER track YOU down.

It is unfair for the other kids in your program to suffer the effects of not getting to do activities simply because of the tardiness of one parent.
Thats what I do! Twice the parents have had to come find us! Not my problem! They get the message fast especially if they need to get to an appt! Why should we be calling them to let them know we are going out. If your going to be late call me!
