Just wondering what everybody's hours of operation are?

745-445 mon/tues....730-445 wed/thurs/fri.

I am not normally flexible with my hours but I needed to fill 2 spots fast so I took a parent that asked if I could be flexible until 5. I knew that my early days would eventually have to end because a lot of parents around here need care until 5 so I agreed. Her child's first day was yesterday and she got here at 447 and was gone by 453 so it wasn't too bad. I also don't get the kids ready but I will be with her son to get them out the door faster!! lol

I'm "open" 7-5, but none of my kids show up until 7:30 !

I work from 7:30 until 5. My first child walks in the door right at 7:30 and the last one usually gets picked up at 4:50-4:55 (sometimes the same child). I am so done my day by 5pm!! I used to be open until 5:15 but that last 15 minutes was torture lol. so glad I shortened it, would love it to be shorter but I know that will never happen. I had a person call yesterday asking if I could open for 6:30 am and my answer was NOPE!! I am not flexible at all with my hours.

Ya that last half hour from 5 to 5:30 is torture for some reason, I agree! My last pick-up is at 5:15 right now. I find myself watching out the window the whole time and watching the clock lol. It kinda feels like a countdown somedays, especially on Fridays

I used to be open till 530 and than shortened it to 515 and than 5 and just recently 445. It worked out perfectly that every time a child left, they were my last ones so I was able to shorten my day for any new clients coming on board. I am not willing to be open past 5 though.

hey there, when I opened my hours were 7:30-5:30. I moved it slowly to 5:15 and now my hours are 7:30-5. However, my hours are changing in the fall to 8-5pm and I am soooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!

My hours are 6am-6pm and for years I worked all of them

Now my first usually starts around 7am and the last leaves (as of 2 weeks from now) at 5:15pm. I live next to a major artery into the city, so I kind of need to keep my longer hours available.

My hours are 7:15 to 5:30....I interviewed a couple and they told me they needed 8-5...funny thing....they started showing up at 7:15!!!!! When I asked them about it (as my next child comes about 7:45)....they said they didn't remember saying 8-5 (I have it written in my book from interview time)....so I have 1 CHILD for 45 minutes first thing in the morning....what's the best way to move this early bird to at least 7:45....HELP
