Has this ever happened to you?!?!

I don't even like it when a parent just walks in at pickup and I have said so to several with the idea that it is uncomfortable for the children to not have any warning - leaving me out of it. But the parent response was sorry thought this was a daycare. I had to remind them that at a daycare centre they walk into the building and are directed to the child's classroom they dont' just barge into the classroom unannounced. So my classroom is my entire house - knock and wait for an invite please.

During daycare hours; I try to keep my door locked.
A) safety of the kids. This way I know some axe murderer isn't barging in.
B) if parents just came right in, you know that inevitably, they are opening the door at the exact moment all hell breaks loose. Murphy's law! Johnny is going to smack Suzie, Sally is going to spill a cup of water all down her front, your phone is going to ring, and the dog will start to bark uncontrollably. That's just how it goes, and even though the provider is in total control of this barely organized chaos- I hate that look on parent's faces. "What the bleep is going on over here?"
LoL

Holy moley. I can't IMAGINE a parent just waltzing into my home without knocking. How utterly rude and disrespectful! My door is always locked too when daycare kids are here.

Me too. I even have a chime on the doors through our alarm system to tell me if anyone did open it without me knowing. Can't be too careful.

I'd comment about it for sure. or put a big sign saying CLOSED - Knock Please.
