I'm feeling a little bitter this morning, sorry. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1167751 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 08:00:05 +0000 MsLipGloss 1167751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO just started daycare a couple of weeks ago (she is 13 months), but her fall party was yesterday (costumes, a Halloween singing concert (performed by the older kids just for the wee ones, and a mini cupcake back in the classroom). I got to meet several parents (which was really nice), and I got to see LO in her costume for the first time. I am so so glad I was able to go. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1167740 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 07:54:39 +0000 Smurfette 1167740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They haven't had any yet. But I am going to try for the Halloween. Cause I want to see all the kids in the costumes. All depends on when the party is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1167729 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 07:50:33 +0000 MsMamaBear 1167729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I only do the fall festival, etc since it's the whole daycare or her daycare birthday party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1167717 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 07:44:40 +0000 Mamaof2 1167717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 9 am, no I wouldn't go.<br /> However our school does them at 3:30pm - so I do go. That way I can take an of leave and then take the kids home after the party - works out great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1167654 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 07:13:39 +0000 littlek 1167654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they are in the afternoon, I try and leave work and attend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1167586 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 06:18:13 +0000 Andrea 1167586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I always had to work, but sometimes they had special breakfasts so DH stayed longer after drop off to attend if he could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1167577 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 05:51:58 +0000 lamariniere 1167577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try, but it seems that we have missed a few parties (4pm Friday) because we have been traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1166622 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:38:28 +0000 shinymama 1166622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I attend, but only for a bit. Enough time to chat with parents, take pictures and play a little. </p> <p>My daycare ladies have mentioned that some of the kids have a tendency to act up when their parents are there, and they sometimes discourage attendance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1166609 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:34:15 +0000 pelikila 1166609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only attend the parades for 4th of july and the fall festival parade. Other than that I don't have time for all of the "events" at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1166607 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:33:45 +0000 MarieJ 1166607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's daycare Halloween party is Friday at 1:30, so I totally took a half day at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1166549 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:11:10 +0000 keiki_mama 1166549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally attend if my daycare hosted a Halloween party. I love interacting with the other kids and seeing them in their costumes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1166541 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:07:50 +0000 looch 1166541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to take the day off for the Halloween party! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1166532 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:03:47 +0000 banana 1166532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. But only because I like seeing my daughter interact with her friends. And for the pics! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-attend-day-care-parties#post-1166529 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:02:54 +0000 Corduroy 1166529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's day care put up a sign letting parents know about a 9am Halloween costume party. I'll send or pack LO's costume but I don't really see the point in attending the "party". I think I would go to a preschool party but LO is 8 months, the oldest kids at the daycare are 18 months or so. </p> <p>Do you attend day care parties? Are they popular at your daycare? Should I take off work to go? </p>
