Hopefully they'll pull immediately and not expect you to take him for the rest of the week. If not, at least you can see the light at the end of the...

I don't know...-21, -47? Those temps are way too cold as far as I'm concerned. lol I wouldn't be able to move with all the layers I'd need to keep...

[e.j.]

That's the actual temperature and not the "feels like" temp? I don't know how you survive that kind of cold! We've had a very warm winter...

[e.j.]

lol Don't let them kid you! They're listening all the time.

[e.j.]

I agree with BeeNature. My policy is tuition is due whether the child attends daycare or not. It doesn't matter if they're sick, on vacation or spending...

The parents are getting harder to deal with than the kids lately. I have one dcm who has been reminded several times that I don't allow food/toys from...

Not sure green poop would necessarily point to medication, although maybe? She may have eaten something with green food dye in it. (If you've never...

As much as I would never wish a little one ill, kids like that sure do make it easy to enjoy their absence.

[e.j.]

It sounds as though dcm made the decision so I wouldn't feel guilty about it at all. With all the crud going around these days, I'd rather be safe than...

Yup! What a Monday! :-( Schools called a snow day here. One of my toughest kids is out as a result (Yay!) but I agreed to take one of my former dc...

[e.j.]

Wow! I'm a little jealous of those of you who can get a kid under 2 to stay on their nap mats or cots. I've only had one kid successfully make the transition...

[e.j.]

Update the parents, let them know what a huge change you're seeing in him already and definitely let them know you feel he can thrive with you if what...

If I know I'll be caring for the new baby, too, I might buy a gift for that child. I might also buy a gift for the older child if I feel especially close...

[e.j.]

Just seeing this now. I think it sounds good if your state requires you to have a formal action plan on file to prove that you've tried to work with...

I have worked with some pretty tough kids and it turned out great in the end. When it was time for them to go to kindergarten, I was actually sad to see...

[e.j.]

I'm pretty sure it's just the medical term for the common cold. As long as the sick kid has tested negative for Covid, RSV and the flu, has no fever...

I love having that extra day to myself!

[e.j.]

Love it! lol...

I hope her silence was out of embarrassment for not showing up when she said she would vs. because she was angry at having to wait until 3....
