DC parents...sheesh!

[bright sparks]

I think sometimes we can give reminders in so many forms that we go blue in the face and it just doesn't make a dam bit of difference. Then it is a matter of consequences....If the parent drops off without diapers, natural consequences for them should be to go home and get them immediately, or their child can not attend daycare that day. I can give every parent the benefit of the doubt, but not more than once, that is ridiculous.

Parent not bringing spare clothes.....if their child does not come with everything they need for the day, which includes spare clothes, then they are not allowed to attend daycare. No sunscreen means the child can not take part in daycare activities with the rest of the kids so can not attend daycare that day. Do not make polite suggestions, all this does is give them a choice. Make it very clear that this is not an option. Spare clothes and sunscreen are mandatory for a child to attend. If they don't come, neither does the child!
