Daycare Parent's separation is affecting me

[Daisy123]

I agree that it shouldn't affect your business. My only input if I may is, although you don't need to know details of arrangements etc, have something legal in sight about who is allowed access on what days. If mom or dad give agreement for complete access by the other that's great but you don't want to be in a situation where the child goes home with the wrong parent and you get blamed. When I worked in a school (I wasn't the adult in charge thank goodness) there was a little girl who's parents had split custody. After a year end concert the wrong parent picked up the child and ran. I never saw her again. Not saying that this would ever happen but better safe than sorry. I had a child in my care last year with split parents and they had no problem with showing me the piece of paper that stated when each had access. Then I could at least say that I had knowledge. I'm not trying to be dramatic or anything but you need to know what to do if the wrong parent tries to pick up. Can you legally send them on their way? I'm not sure.
