Do you inform your families of changes in your daycare

[bright sparks]

Lol I never tell my parents... None of their business. Do you think centres inform all of their parents when they have changes in children or staff? It may be mentioned in a monthly newsletter but not usually.

But isn't that one of the differences between centre care and home daycare? In a centre there is less chance for parents to even interact with the group and/or become familiar with the many different children let alone remember their names. In a home daycare centre it is much more intimate and due to the low numbers it makes sense that parents would be more familiar with them and so as a result they are more likely to make enquiries as to the absence of a child when they see the group regularly at drop off and pick up. A centre wouldn't tell a parent because it isn't an intimate childcare setting where parents and all children closely interact on a daily basis. I think it is a parents business who their child is interacting with. Centres don't inform parents for different reasons but then we aren't an employee in a centre, but business owner/operators with a much deeper level of investment and much different kind of relationship with the families.
