College Classes .. What To Do?

[daycaremom88]

I am starting some college classes the 2nd week of July. One is online which is fine but the other is @ 6pm on Monday and Wednesday nights. I close my daycare between 5:15 and 5:30 and the college is about a 20 minute drive due to bad traffic around the time I need to commute.

My question is are there any daycare providers out there that have a similar situation or have in the past.?? Did you have any problems with parents understanding that they need to pick up their child by 5:30 pm sharp? Should I send home a letter stating this?

I would absolutely let parents know that you pickup policy will be held to very strictly from now on as you pursue your education. They need to plan accordingly. Up fees if you need to! Send home a copy of the policy with the warning letter.

Yup! Let them know and don't wait until then to enforce it, start now!
Best wishes as you continue your education!
