Breakfast

[Fireyesblue]

A 12month old is not coming in, sitting down and feeding themselves. Are you able to be ready to sit and help/monitor a meal before the other kids arrive? If so I would agree to it, for the $5 but provide the food.

I would also tell them you will start on a trial period and if after 2 weeks it is not working for you then they will need to start providing the meal at home. Simply let them know that this meal greatly impacts your morning and needs to be done and over with before your other children arrive.

My main concern is that you start providing breakfast and they start coming later and later. Now you are having unfed kids arrive at the same time as your regular clients and you need to feed them.

Thank you! My other family arrives at 7:30 and I do not offer or serve breakfast. This mom actually works from home and wants to do early drop off so she can do an early pick up. I can't understand why, she can't feed her own kids. She lives few mins from my house as well. I think I will have to phrase it to say I don't offer or serve breakfast which includes outside food; and that the children are required to come fed in the morning. I eliminater breaky because I found it stressful and I opened at 7. She can adjust her hours to feed them at home. I just don't want to lose them as a potential client, but again I am already being flexible with the opening time!
