Isn't time spent with mom and dad more important than scheduled activities at daycare?
Then keep your kids home with you if it’s that important.
I still have to work, just not 9 to 5 like most people. Shouldn't daycare suit parents' childcare needs? We're paying for a service afterall.
It depends. Is this also "preschool?" Our daycare had several children that only came from 9-3 for preschool. The "teaching" started at 9. They treated it like a school so the kids also treated it like school. I could see repeatedly coming late as disruptive in this case.
They don't advertise as a preschool.

Find a different day are that doesn’t care when you drop off.
Other parents may have picked this daycare because it had a routine. And now you’re interrupting that routine on a daily basis. It isn’t fair to those parents that are paying for their children to have a routine.
It's not that easy to switch daycare. Plus, I didn't know the drop off rule when I signed up. There wasn't such a rule last year.

Maybe the answer is a daycare just for families that need that flexibility. They’ll skip scheduled activities and just do free play the whole day.

My daycare strongly prefers drop offs to happen by 9.00. That’s when the kids sit down for snack and then begin activities. I bring my child in late twice a week because she receives therapies at home but I drop off right at lunchtime so it doesn’t disrupt the morning routine.

that wasn’t the question. If you feel that way then stay home with your kid. Otherwise, it’s not fair to the other kids to have their morning disrupted.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:They probably start their scheduled activities at 9. TbT was the way our daycare was.

In that case, don't put your kid in daycare.

Have you explained why you can't drop off by 9am? Or asked why that's the reason?

Transitions with toddlers/pre-k are difficult and if OP is having her kid disrupt a routine that's already put in place, things can domino. If you haven't worked in early childhood edu you may not understand.

Does daycare ask you to drop off by a certain time in the morning?
Our daycare asks us to drop off by 9 am which is very inconvenient considering we need to drop off our older children at school first.
I see that the teachers are annoyed when I drop off during story time. I don't want to get on their bad side. Thankfully, I'm not the only parent dropping off late and I always apologize for being late
.
I would like a later cut off for drop off, say 9:30. Would it be unreasonable to make the suggestion?
