Dh calls. If we know we have a goofy schedule coming up, like I am picking her up Thursday and bringing LO to a work event with me, I try to verbally give a few days notice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2454723 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 09:05:46 +0000 catomd00 2454723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! If we don't call within an hour of normal drop off they always call us. one time DH was supposed to do drop off and didn't tell me he decided to keep her home. I freaked out when they called to ask of everything was ok because I just pictured her sweating in the backseat of DHs car because he has forgotten to drop her off. I think it's a good safety measure for them to call if they haven't heard from you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2454592 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 07:19:04 +0000 BananaPancakes 2454592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I text his teacher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2454589 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 07:16:11 +0000 ValentineMommy 2454589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they like to know. They also like to know why the child is staying home, in case it's something that's going around and highly contagious (like HFM) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2454542 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 02:17:53 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2454542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they prefer that we call, and because of E's food allergies, we always do. We've also been sick since yesterday 😕 I hope you and the boys get well soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2454161 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 20:59:14 +0000 wheres_c 2454161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The app they use allows me to mark him as absent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2454139 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 20:33:06 +0000 artsyfartsy 2454139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He goes to an in-home so I always give her a call if we won't make it.

If I don't call and LO isn't in by 9, they will call you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453976 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 18:18:24 +0000 Alba4 2453976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453881 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 16:43:58 +0000 BandDmommy 2453881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453872 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 16:35:45 +0000 blackbird 2453872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably email - the one time I brought E in an hour late, they were all worried about us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453867 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 16:30:54 +0000 LatteLove 2453867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always call or email because I would want them to follow up if we unexpectedly weren't there (and they do!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453851 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 16:22:49 +0000 smocks 2453851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call. I'm not POSITIVE that it's a requirement, but it probably is. If I'm not going to make it by 9am, I call and let them know too. They change up their staffing based on how many kids are there so it's both courtesy and I'm guessing I would get a call asking where they were if I didn't call first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453757 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:19:14 +0000 regberadaisy 2453757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I always call before 9am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453699 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 14:52:15 +0000 SweetCaroline 2453699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Yes...and they have a policy of calling if we aren't there by 9am.

It's important for staffing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453513 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:56:23 +0000 SeptMomma12 2453513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but one of the kids' teachers will usually call me to ask where they are before I get a chance to call. My kids are usually one of the first dropped off right when they open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453511 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:53:15 +0000 bushelandapeck 2453511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, i always send an email when I know DS is going to be out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453501 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:38:07 +0000 Corduroy 2453501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The want to know to ppan their day and staffing. Technically they ask for two weeks notice if we miss for a non-illness. Over the weekend Grandma asked for LO1 for the week. We just told them when we dropped off LO2. Meh- we pay the same anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453496 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:35:20 +0000 nana87 2453496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes we have to call the front desk if she isn't coming in or if we're arriving past 9 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453454 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:00:20 +0000 looch 2453454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call the front desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-preschooldaycare-know-if-lo-misses-a-day#post-2453446 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 11:51:33 +0000 youboots 2453446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.
