I don't think you get over that so she drilled her late notification policy into us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064797 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:02:15 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2064797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is saying "nice to see you so early" rude? Was it her tone? I've said things like "I didn't think I'd see you today!" to kids/parents who drop off very, very late unexpectedly. It's not like I'm saying "what are you doing here? You're late today!" or something. </p> <p>I do understand parents pay for the full day and can use it how they like, but as a teacher it can be frustrating for planning the day (lunch count, teacher scheduling and breaks, etc) if a child randomly arrives at different times with no warning. Getting a curtesy call is always nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064754 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:53:13 +0000 LML 2064754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, but if we are too late my DD misses morning snack. Then on her folder for the day it says "LATE" really big in the section where they talk about whether she ate her morning snack. I know they just write that to explain why she didn't have snack, but it always makes me feel bad. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064670 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:28:20 +0000 sandy 2064670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so rude for the teacher to say something to the child - if there's a problem with her being late then talk directly to the parents. That is so annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064593 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:07:21 +0000 sarac 2064593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's very unkind of her teacher. When I was in school, my parents were chronically late, and I was always getting in trouble for it with my teachers. I always felt so angry, because I knew that it wasn't my fault that my parents didn't have their shit together, but I was too meek to stand up for myself, so I just felt really small and angry about it. It really sucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064473 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:32:02 +0000 lamariniere 2064473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Our daycare doesn't care. You just have to be there by 9:45 if you want your LO to have breakfast. I mean, they are getting paid one way or the other, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064423 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:16:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 2064423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always let daycare know if we are going to be late (if we have an appointment or something first) just so they can plan breakfast accordingly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064366 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:55:40 +0000 cascademom 2064366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With our new place, we basically have until 8:30am (when breakfast is served) to get him in. So, that's our new threshold of late. Yesterday was bad, but he arrived as food was being served. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064365 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:55:40 +0000 MrsSCB 2064365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That seems rude! She's so young, why does it matter if she's late? She's not missing out on learning multiplication tables or something. And it's not like all the teachers wouldn't be there anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064360 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:52:52 +0000 PurplePeony 2064360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and if they did, I'd give as good as I got. We pay for a spot to use however we feel like. If we want to pay for hours that LO isn't there, that's our business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064091 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 11:20:35 +0000 Mama Bird 2064091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah, only if we pick him up late. They have a really big dropoff window. We've showed up at 930ish a couple of times after big tantrums and they were very understanding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2064043 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 11:06:55 +0000 Grace 2064043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Only if we're earlier than normal. And I think it's just making conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2063990 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:53:01 +0000 woodentulip 2063990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare doesn't have a 'start' time exactly, but if we were going to arrive late, they would want a call.</p> <p>For preschool or Kinder, we definitely would hear about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2063988 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:52:43 +0000 travellingbee 2063988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm... I guess a couple of times she has said something like, "Oh I thought maybe you weren't coming today!" But it never seemed passive aggressive or upset. Just surprised and happy to see him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2063986 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:52:05 +0000 Anagram 2063986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to be at my desk at work by 7:53 every day no matter what (contract time), so my daughter is dropped off every day between 7:25-7:25, whether either of us want to be there that day or not. haha =)</p> <p>No flexibility in my job, whatsoever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2063985 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:51:29 +0000 mediagirl 2063985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No...they do ask that we call or email if we're not going to be there or if we're going to be really late so they know how to adjust the teachers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2063983 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:51:25 +0000 mrsjyw 2063983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a daycare person, but UGH I hate passive aggressive comments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2063980 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:50:36 +0000 autumnlove 2063980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, they know DH's work schedule is inconsistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycarepreschool-teacher-ever-make-comments-if-you-come-in-late#post-2063979 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:49:33 +0000 mrbee 2063979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter has been really sleepy lately, so sometimes we're a little late. Last week she slept in one day until 10 am (?!), so we kept her home in the morning and brought her in for the afternoon session.</p> <p>This one teacher at her preschool remarks every time we're late - not to me, but she says it to my daughter in front of me. Today we were on time and she commented about how nice it was to see her early. Guess she feels strongly about us being on time. So now I'll just wake up our daughter even if she's tired.</p> <p>Does your daycare/preschool teacher ever make comments if you come in late? </p>
