[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We switched from one daycare that had no such rule to a new daycare with that rule (ours is an earlier cut-off time).  We learned to schedule routine visits far in advance and either at 8am or 4pm and we now anticipate needing to take whole days off for middle of the day appointments.  We ask in advance to bend the rules if we think we might miss cut-off by less than an hour, but it's rude to the teachers if we try push it beyond that.  We do a lot more urgent care visits and have a dentist that does evenings, etc.[/quote]

Rude to the teachers? Routine visits only?

No way.

These are screaming red flags.

Yup.

You tell the daycare to pound sand. They are looking to cut staff hours to keep the ratios at a minimum. Which means they are likely violating the ratios during parts of the day. [/quote]

So you tour of daycare, you sign a contract and you agree to their terms and yet when a rule doesn’t work for you you make a big stink about it?  That is entitlement all right!

I am not saying I agree or disagree with the rule but if it doesn’t sign up for a place whose rules do not suit you. I would like to think that this forum is full of intelligent women so why not read before you sign?

Yup. I think it's entitled to for a daycare to dictate when a kid can go to the doctor. The daycare exists to make the parents' lives easier - not vice versa.

This policy is becoming more frequent with expensive private day care centers in DC. It is worrying. [/quote]

DP.  The daycare exist as a business.  To do that, it provides a service to you.  It doesn’t provide a service to you on whatever terms you dictate.  It especially doesn’t provide a service to you on terms expressly contrary to the terms they laid out.

My daycare doesn’t have this rule and it would be a negative factor in me evaluating the daycare.  But if they clearly told OP (and others) the rules and OP agreed to them, she really had no basis to complain at this point.[/quote]

Think about the craziness you're defending:
"Your child can only have a doctors' appointment from 8am-10am or after 4pm. Otherwise, don't bring your kid into the center for which you're paying $90-100 per day."

That is kookoo. Daycare centers are forcing this onto parents. I'm fine with them making a profit, but this is insanity. The reason why people utilize daycare is because they work. [/quote]
