For the first week she would send me pictures through out the day - that was really sweet :) Alivoo01 on "How often do you call/check in at daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-callcheck-in-at-daycare#post-1171504 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:09:12 +0000 Alivoo01 1171504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DS is also in his second week at daycare. The director texts. Since DS is the only kid there so early, she always sends us a picture or video about an hour after drop off. I text around lunch to see how he's doing. Sometimes, the hubby will text and inquire also. The director always told us to text/call as often as we wanted. If I'm missing DS, I'll ask for a picture. His teacher doesn't text us so I feel better inquiring about him during the day.

Only if theres a super specific situation going on, like an illness.

I'll probably call in the future if she's having a bad morning or something. Like @littlek:, I use an in home place and started to feel like I was taking away from care of the kids by calling every day. yoursilverlining on "How often do you call/check in at daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-callcheck-in-at-daycare#post-1171471 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:57:14 +0000 yoursilverlining 1171471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never called either - LO is 16 months old. ETA: Daycare sends an email every afternoon that tells me about LO's day, so I do get info that way. Also, if she gets sick or is acting "off" at all, they call and let me know, so I don't feel like I need to check-up on her since they would call if there is any issue. littlek on "How often do you call/check in at daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-callcheck-in-at-daycare#post-1171470 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:56:51 +0000 littlek 1171470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @NovBaby1112: We send LO to a daycare center. I don't think I'd call a home daycare because its not like they have "front desk people" who can respond to your calls. If I was calling a lot, it would mean less time that person would be watching my LO. doodlepoodle on "How often do you call/check in at daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-callcheck-in-at-daycare#post-1171467 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:56:16 +0000 doodlepoodle 1171467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @NovBaby1112: I am crazy too! J goes to my mom M/W/F and a daycare center T/R but his godmother is the asst director so I have the hookup. I am on pins and needles until she gets to work and texts me everyday. She assures me parents do it all the time ;) Andrea on "How often do you call/check in at daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-callcheck-in-at-daycare#post-1171459 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:54:45 +0000 Andrea 1171459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've never called either!

Sometimes I'll forget to tell them something and call. Otherwise, I try to not do so. kiddosc on "How often do you call/check in at daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-callcheck-in-at-daycare#post-1171434 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:49:26 +0000 kiddosc 1171434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I called a few times his first two weeks, but only call now if he was acting strangely in the morning and might not feel well. I never called more than once a day. autumnlove on "How often do you call/check in at daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-callcheck-in-at-daycare#post-1171428 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:47:33 +0000 autumnlove 1171428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've never called!

I'm wondering now if that is strange? I just want to make sure she is doing okay since it is her second week there. I always keep it short since I am sure she is super busy, and I always apologize, but she always reassures me to call as much as I want and to not feel bad.
