    Never been asked.

    I have been asked if I am a "real daycare" which after having just spent an evening going through my paperwork, space, policies, etc., did irritate me. My husband splutter with laughter from kitchen and said "Oh yeah - touch her arm if you want. No holograms here."

    I've been asked some damn stupid things in the past.

    You have a late collection fee, what time is considered late?
    I close at 4.30pm. If you get here at 4.31pm then I am closed, you are late. Just like if you go to grocery store 1 min after closing you are too late.

    You take children outside every day? What happens if it's raining?
    We all get wet.

    Can we get our receipt weekly before payment?
    You can get it weekly but I can't produce a document stating you have paid, before you have paid.

    If you take a day off in the week, can we come on the weekend to make up for it?
    You can indeed come on the weekend however the day home will not be open.

    If my wife and I take a couple's vacation, will you keep our child overnight?
    Unfortunately, this is a day care not an adoption service.
