    yes, happy hugs I hear you as the last staff is stuck when a child is late and it happened a lot when there was a snow fall now going into the winter months there may be a lot more late pick-ups - does your daycare charge a fee for the late pick-up ? in our centre the late fee went to the last staff but even then some parents just kept on being late and it was hard - it was a great day when everyone was picked up early LOL
    we changed shifts every 2 weeks so no one was struck with the closing and that helped to make it fair for the 4 staff so we all understood the bad parts of each of the 4 different shifts

    We also alternated the late shift at the daycare I worked at. That way all staff shared the role and it wasn't one person with the worst shift all the time.

    Yeah, our centre does charge a late fee but it's so tiring especially now that it's dark and you need to catch two buses. I get home late exhausted. Now that winter is coming along it'll be worse especially because I have to wait so long outside.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
