    When I started doing daycare my hours were 6am-6pm. I hated it. So after a couple years I changed it to 7am-5pm. Much better! I did lose one famiy because of it but that was fine to me because they were my "problem family" that was always late anyway. Everyone else was gone by 4pm back then so it was an easy change.

    Changing my closing hours to 5pm hasn't made a difference at all. I do get calls for 5:30 or 6 pick ups but I just say "sorry - no can do". I still get lots of people with the hours that fit. Mostly they are school teachers or people who work 7:30-4. My kids are all picked up by 4:30 on a late day. So nice to still have time in the day to spend time with my own kids with the earlier closing hours.

    You have to do what makes you happy & sane so you can continue doing daycare. You will still have families that fit in your time frame.
