[quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing that 5pm pick up is the biggest reason people aren't calling you. While you're okay with making an exception when needed, most people would need a 6pm close time every day. Most people get out of work at 5pm, it takes a while to get back to the neighborhood & pick up the kid. To your original question, an in-home was appealing to us because it was personalized, my child really was incorporated into the family (DCP's teenage kids really doted on the kids in her care), there's a greater level of flexibility in terms of timing, food, schedules, diapers, etc. Our provider was well versed in how to handle breastmilk and happy to store a bag of back up milk in her freezer. She also was open to learning to cloth diaper and worked with us on early potty training. Healthy food is also a major perk, IMO, of an in-home daycare. Home made food, real ingredients. I would not be a huge fan of juice - really unnecessary, I'd rather just stick to milk & water. [/quote]
