Am I Being Lazy By Not Allowing This?

[2 young 2 feel this old]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I am usually easy going about things kids coming in pajamas and even coming in asleep but the hair thing just bothered me. The comb can stay but I will be giving back the hairspray. If it is important to them it can be done before they get here.

Never, ever heard of a little boy using hairspray in his hair. Ever. That would be considered weird here and extremely effeminate. I'd just say you don't allow any of the children to use aerosol products, which btw are flameable and "huff-able".

In alabama, that's considered a toxic substance and would not be allowed within children's reach. So he!! no!

I would give it back and explain that he needs to come prepared for school. At my center, we are not permitted to spray things such as hair spray, air freshener etc. due to possible issues such as asthma.

<<<This morning dad of SA DCB hands me a can of hairspray and a comb- " These are to stay here so that HE can do his hair before school">>>

"I'm sorry but that doesn't work for me. All school-aged children need to arrive at daycare ready for school."

We use hairspray as a lice deterrent at school. Lice don't like hair with hairspray or product in them.

I blame everything on licensing.

"Sorry DCD. I have to keep all chemicals locked up and away from DCKs so I can't let him use the hairspray in my home. The hairspray fumes are really strong too that really I wouldn't be able to let him use it in my DC bathroom so that the rest of the kids don't breath it in. One of the kids is asthmatic. I'm sure he can do his hair at home before he gets here. "

I couldnt imagine a dc parent presenting me with a bottle of hair spray. Just tell them that your not allowed to have things like hairspray where the kids can reach.
