Parents Not Communicating

[kindertime]

oh I just thought of something else lol does this seem like a red flag to anyone else. I am worried now that if her child gets hurt or sick she will never answer her phone. Or what if she is late she wont answer if I am calling to see where is. I have been waiting for a response since Thursday and I have re messaged and emailed last night.

Maybe, but at this point, it's hard to know. The mother gave you a deposit in March, correct? I assume you met with her then, at least once. Have you had any other communication with her between March and July when you started asking for a start date? When you do reach her, either by text or voice, maybe schedule another meeting. Short, and informal, just a chat. If it won't work in person, do it over the phone, but let her know it has been concerning to you that she isn't responding, and that you are worried this will mean she will be unreachable once care has started. She might be surprised that you have found her unresponsive. Not everyone has the same idea of what 'soon' means.

If a parent starts their child full-time (no half days just the full days) and that child crys ALL DAY do you ever call the parents to pick up.. .

Nope. Don't want to start the habit. "If I cry long enough, I get to go home." On the other hand, if a child who doesn't normally cry, starts crying for no reason and won't stop and is miserable, then yes, maybe.
