[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And to be clear I am not defending the daycare’s rule. I am defending their right to run their business as they please.[/quote]

They have the right to have the rule.

Prospective parents have the right to be informed of the unsettling, negative implications of a daycare with such a rule.

Parents who sign up knowing about the rule have the right to continue to bitch about it.[/quote]

And everyone else has the right to tell you that you have no valid basis to bitch if you knowingly signed up with this rule in place.[/quote]

As new parents who were struggling to find daycare for our child before maternity leave ended, we signed up with a daycare in NW DC with this rule. Due to our ignorance as new parents and lack of sleep, we didn't understand what it actually meant from a practical standpoint - gaming ratios, cutting hours for caregivers with little notice, and also just the impracticality of always trying to schedule doctors' appointments at the "approved" times.

I would never put my kid in a daycare with this rule, now knowing what I know. We've since switched to another, better daycare center that doesn't have such policies.[/quote]

Here's your solution, OP.  Easy peasy.  [/quote]

PP here: it was not an "easy peasy" solution. We were only able to switch daycare centers because we unexpectedly got off the waiting list at our preferred center, which is closer to our office and significantly cheaper.

We got very lucky. Most working families in DC don't have the luxury of switching centers. [/quote]
