How do you feel about...

[cfred]

I would have no problem with it. I have open door policy and parents can just walk in, anytime, and make themselves comfortable. Actually, I quite enjoy it and we usually have a little visit. I do ask, though, that they not do this at nap time, for obvious reasons. Everyone's been good about that, but at the end of the day, they just come right in. Sometimes they stay by the door and sometimes they come right into the daycare to look at the art work, play with the other kids or for a little chat. I have two mums on mat leave who will even stay for a little visit in the morning sometimes. Because of the Mothers' Dinners I do, they all know each other and each other's children, so it's really quite a nice thing that they have a chance to catch up here when they cross paths. Sometimes, if we're having a late afternoon circle, they'll sit down and join us for that. I love having the parents come and go freely. It makes them feel involved and welcome and I see the appreciation.
