First Day Of Daycare

[crayolamom]

How do you watch all the children if you are having tea with parents? I run a very structured program and if I were to do this we would be totally be off schedule and most parents would be annoyed that they are paying me to have tea and chit chat with other parents.

Like I said my program is very structured and I charge more then most home daycares in my area so I think due to this my clientele EXPECTS a certain type of service and this would mostly likely upset them which is understandable.

As for the OP I do not allow parent to come in. This is my home and some boundaries need to be set and what you do for one you do for all and I would never be able to run my program with five parents in my home not to mention it's uncomfortable.

Daycare is a place where children need to learn independence away from mom and dad so having mom and dad will not help the transition process at all if anything it will prolong it. I treat my daycare like a school and correct me if I am wrong but I don't think my daughters school would allow 30 parents in the classroom.

I understand parents want to feel more secure or comfortable but I will not allow random check ins so parents can keep tabs on me, if they need that types of security then they need to go to a daycare facility with cameras.

I use to allow this and after doing it twice I stopped all together. I had a DCD following me very quietly around my home, I turned around to leave and said bye and he said bye but very quietly was walking behind and I actually almost had a heart attack.

We meet people on kijij, online etc. do you know how unsafe that it and what dangers you could be putting yourself in. Ever heard of the Craigs list killer? No way! If god forbid anything ever happened to a provider I guarantee it would be all over the news "why would she let someone in her home that she just met on Craig's list or kijiji"

Suzie is right you don't have these peoples police checks and for the safety of the children in your care do not do this. There are so many weirdo's out there !
