Toys/food from home

[mickyc]

I don't allow toys from home. I have enough here there is no need to bring something from home.

The breakfast thing drives me crazy!! Lol I have in my policy that all kids must be fed breakfast BEFORE attending daycare. From time to time I have the odd child come in still eating their breakfast. I hate it when parents do this, depending on what it is I can't imagine what their vehicle must look like. I usually make the child sit at the table to finish. The other day a child came around 9 (snack is at 10) with his full breakfast still in hand. I sat him at the table until mom left and then it went in the garbage, I washed his hands and sent him off to play. I was annoyed. I have better things to do that worry about kids eating breakfast/added mess and then chances are the child wouldn't eat what I feed him in a bit (plus all the other kids thinking it was snack time already). I realize they were running late but the car ride is literally 3 minutes to my house and this kid is the slowest eater. He certainly wasn't going to starve in that hour! I can't stand kids coming in with food all over their hands/coat and then mom just sending them off to play. I usually scoop them up and say lets go wash those sticky hands first.

It is just one of those things that really annoy me LOL
