Do Your Daycare Parents...

[Blackcat31]

I don't allow parents past the front door for drop off and pick ups. I have 13 daycare parents total. It would be too much of a liability to have them free ranging my house. It would be too much wear and tear and it would take too much of my time. If I could figure out a way to get their kids in and out of my house without them coming on my property at all I would ban that too.

Drive through daycare services!

They sell systems similar to this at Lowe's, and you bet I've considered buying one. I am glad parents feel comfortable coming in, and we (like you) have a seperate house for the daycare so at least they aren't making themselves at home in our actual house, but I hate having to correct behavior in front of a parent - but more often than not - when a parent spends more than 5 min here, their child starts acting up. It is just so uncomfortable that I would rather not be put in the position to do it. Also, during most pick-up times we have a few parents here at once and with 12 families coming in and out it can feel like a zoo very quickly.

This is exactly how things go down here, too. :: I strongly dislike it!

By the way BlackCat I saved that photo you put up and put it in my "Dream Daycare" file, I hope you don't mind. One day when we move into a larger place I'm going to have my DH build me one similar to that one and I'm going to paint it just like yours (to match my cubby colors .
