Hours of Operation

[daycare]

Wow this is one crazy schedule.

[3kidzmama]

Mine's not listed, I'm open 6 am - 6 pm, but I work 10-6. My assistant opens for me and works until 3 pm.

[familyschoolcare]

I voted more than 12 hours but really is not that much. I am open 6:00 am -6:15Pm. However, I specialize in school age and right now all of them only come on a as needed bases in the morning (last month had 1 child 1 day in the morning) so really I am only working from 1:40 (12:40 on Wednesday min days) when I leave to start the pick ups until 6:15 except for school holidays and the last day the children had a in service day the earliest child arrived at 8:30.

6 - 6 Monday - Friday

These are my hours too.

[Oneluckymom]

6am-11:30pm Monday-Saturday

um...do you sleep?

[Zoe]

My first shift is 6:30-5:30 and then I have a child second shift who arrives at 2:30 and gets picked up at 12:00. I have it in my policy that all my doors are locked, the baby monitor is on, and I sleep at night after she's in bed. Works out well.

[Childminder]

um...do you sleep?

Lol, yep. Go to sleep @ 11:30 and if I have a drop off or pick up early (before 7:30a) the child traditionally is back to bed as am I. My dh is licensed as my assistant and is an early riser and makes wonderful breakfast. I do have currently two that get picked up around 3a but I just go immediately back to sleep.

[SunflowerMama]

I'm 7a - 5p.

[My Daycare]

6:45-4:45, but I voted 6:30 to 4:30.

[Daycare Diva]

I work primarily with military parents. My hours are actually 6 am- 6 pm. If I opened any later than that they wouldn't make it to work.

[TBird]

When I get an assistant I'll be increasing my hours to 6:00.

[MsMe]

7:30 a.m. - 5:15 p.m.

[bice99]

7:15 am - 5 pm. And closed on Wednesdays

[Solandia]

I started off as 6a-6p...then 6 years ago switched to 7a-6p. M-F. Now my standard hours are 7:00-5:30, with earlier & later for an extra fee. I am licensed 6am-midnight.

I am one of TWO licensed daycares with a second shift in a 3-city area (total population of 25-30K). I get calls for second shift about once every 2 years. I'll do it *if* the situation is right, and I have to really, really like the family.

[momma2girls]

When I started, I used to have 6-5:30, then everyone started coming earlier and arriving later for pick up!!
We moved and now I am 7:15-4:30
I used to have 7:30-4:30, til one of my teachers received a new job, and she had to be there earlier..
