No lovies, blankets or the like here except in their beds at nap. They come on Monday at drop off and are sent home Fri to be laundered. If they want their lovie they need to be in bed with it. Nobody here even asks about it.

To the OP, how many kids do you have in your daycare? We had a sibling set of boys who were extra attached to their blankets and small toys, but mostly blankets. The age 5 preschooler cried for his blanket everyday and he had been going to the daycare for years. His little brother can't talk, but the second lunch is over he runs to his bed to lay down with his blanket and he'll never even want to get up from bed after nap because we put all blankets away in another room outside of nap time. Parents would sometimes visit and the kids would get their blanket back, UGH, but once parents left we put it back. I've learned a lot on do's and don'ts for when I become a parent! :
: We had a group setting and only this one set of siblings had a blanket attachment.
I will still allow a comfort item--is what I called it in my policy. I say item because I don't care if it's a small stuffed animal or a blanket or both. I'm not going to waste my ink to add anymore on "no large blankets" "no too-big-to-wash stuffed animals" etc. Blankets will still only be available during nap time.Comment

I tell parents during the interview that their child cannot have their blankie or lovey until naptime.
I say that I do not want them carrying it around and dropping it on the floor and another kid stepping on it or grabbing it and ****ing on it. From day one this is enforced. They walk in the door and it is taken from them and put in their backpack or whatever.
I so agree with you that they are filthy and germ infested.
