Help - New Daycare Family Issues

Mom gave me letter from herself. I guess if she thought she put it in writing and said please make this work it would help.

Oh, well in that case since she made so official you better listen to her. :: ::

Put a closed sign on the door with a open time of 7:30 and do not answer until then or if you are in a situation where she comes doing another drop off. Attach a invoice for your early drop off fee. (double your late pick up fee) Have it ready to hand her when she arrives, make it due right then, no pay no stay, see you at 7:30.

I wake my kids up at 7 and I am up and ready by then and my kids rooms are in the front of the house and I have to walk past the front door multiple times to get to their room. I would technically have to ignore her at the front door. I gave her her option of paying more, following contract hours or leaving yesterday. happyface

What did she choose?

And....being up and about in your home does not have to mean you're open. Not sure what your actual hours of operation are. Mine are 7:30-5:30. If a parent showed up unannounced at 7:00 and saw lights on in my home, they'd have a long wait outside!

I am sure once she qualifies, she will leave for a place that accepts it and since you don't take infants anyway, maybe it best to move on and find a family that fits better (and can follow your rules).

My thoughts exactly

This.
I have gone to retail stores and have seen employees inside getting ready for the day. They don't unlock the doors until their clock hits their official open time. That's business.

I didn't read the other comments but she sounds like a headache. I would term and say it is not going to work out as you contracted for 730 not 7. Don't even entertain the holding the spot for 2 months.

My hours are 7-6. She agreed to the 10 hours and will have her dad (grandfather) pick up dcg 7-5. I told her I will not hold her spot for maternity leave. I am going to get a sign so I can let parents know when I am open. We are good for now

Just expect her to terminate before she has the baby .
