Closing early one day for health procedure (but not taking a day off)

[Suzie_Homemaker]

You are entitled to have time to look after your health. They are not entitled to your personal information. It doesn't matter why you need time off - every single working adult needs to take time off on occassion.

Based on how your client group reacted to this news, I would also be concerned they were going to play games and just show up at their regular times. If it we me, I'd close the whole day and refund the fees for the day. It's just too important to be in a situation where you need to leave and they have not turned up for their child. Alternatively, is there a back up adult who you would consider having in your home if someone is late? Again, I would not advertise this option to your client's but I would consider having that Plan B in place and if a parent is not there when they should be, you can call, and let them know you are going to your appointment as scheduled and that someone else is there looking after the child they failed to be on time for.
