    I love the bye bye outside and now do it for all my families all the time.

    Nan, keep me updated on your launch!

    As for the other situation with the daycare center, it sounds very common.....lots of turnover, little feedback, caregivers not willing or able to follow simple instructions, no one is going to care about making one kid drink if the child doesnt do it instantly. no one is going to sit by your child and tend to them the way you will. If your child needs any sort of individualized care, 99% of the time, they wont get that at a center. The director wont care about one mom with a sickly child wanted special treatment. It is going to be hard though to find someone else willing to do your schedule (drop off right before lunch....) and willing to deal with a child that is constantly sick or needy. But the only thing you can do is keep researching more options. You may have to go with a smaller center or home daycare and drop your child off earlier. My confusion is, why is your child struggling with dehydration when they are with you the majority of their hours? Why can this not be dealt with on your time? Of course the caregivers should offer liquids but what do you expect them to do when it is like a 15 to 1 ratio and your little one is not cooperative about finishing his drinks.....again, no one has the time to set and coax your child thru ever sip.

        1. How do the parents sign the child in and out? WI licensing rules require parents to sign the child in and out - we can get written up if a parent forgets.

        2. How/when do you talk about the child's day or any concerns? I like touching base with the parents at drop off to find out how the child slept, what he/she ate, etc. And at pick up I tell them how the day went, something special we did, etc.

        I currently don't need Buh-bye Outside, I'm just thinking about if/how I'd implement it if there were a problem.

          Just put a little plastic table by the door and pop the sign out sheet on it as you are pulling the kid in. Soon as parent is out of drive open door and grab it and take back in.

          If you have things to discuss they can txt before care or you can text after arrival. It only takes a short time to fix so a few days of little communication should be ok.
