[quote=Anonymous]Do you go to my daycare? I’m not sure how prevalent this rule is but it applies where my kid attends. I had to be reminded of the drop off time cutoff in the infant room too when we started but didn’t question it or push further because in the grand scheme we are overall happy with the center... moving forward we have been able to get the first or last well visit of the day at the pediatrician so it has maybe only affected us once or twice but I know it’s annoying when you have to go in for the more frequent first year check ups and when we were going in for things like asthma and eczema specialist check ups. I do think it has to do with ratio/staffing and routines.... I don’t think it would hurt to ask the director at the very least for the rationale. There are a lot of policies and things to learn and especially in the infant room a lot of health and safety licensure regulations they have to consider. It’s a lot when you first start daycare so like you were saying the rule didn’t stick out to me in the handbook until the situation came up. I would suggest asking yourself if overall it’s a place you can trust and go from there.... other daycares may have different annoying policies. For example, at a friend’s daycare she has to wash and send in fresh crib sheets every day so they have to do the crib sheet laundry themselves which I would find super annoying but they don’t require that at my daycare. I do think the drop off cutoff time can be a PITA and share the frustrations about paying for full time care and whatnot but there are other benefits we have found to be more important than that policy. I sort of chalked it up to the difference between center based care and choosing a home daycare or nanny where maybe we would have more room to request flexibility or exceptions. If you *are* at my daycare, I will say that the management is really receptive to feedback and questions when presented calmly and rationally so if it’s still bothering you address it and see if maybe you can get clarification, get them to consider making exceptions for appointments communicated in advance, or at the very least help them change the way they onboard new families / how the policy is communicated.[/quote]
