Assuming this child is in Ontario...good luck to Mom and Dad when she starts school next year. Up to an hour late every day just will not cut it in school! I agree with making your (opening) hours clear and sticking with them.
Re: "extremely picky eater...immediately i hear "i don't like this" How I deal with that is extremely small portions (the rest, of course get all they will eat). As soon as I hear the "I don't like"...I pull the plate away. No other reaction. They sit until everyone else is done. At snack time they get the same portion as everyone else (I do not add more to accommodate for lack of lunch).
Re: Not wanting to "play with new girl": This always a tough one. What I find works for me is to sit with new person and do an activity together (then the other children come to join). I also then use that as a teachable moment to say, "Did you feel sad that I was not playing with you?" "How do you think Sally feels when you won't play with her?" Also, really praise the other children that are making the effort to play with new girl
