They are usually during the day so I usually miss them because of work.
I think daycare decided to mix things up and the Christmas show is tonight at 6-6:45. I saw a lot of angry comments on the sign up sheets about bedtimes...Eeek!
-
Always before lunch so it doesn't interfere with nap time.
-
Santa is coming to visit the kiddos at 10am. I should inquire if parents are allowed at these things because the director never told me if parents are welcome or not...
-
Usually 3pm. So I either miss the party or miss work. I would MUCH rather push bedtime back a bit one night than have to miss work to come to the event. I always want to say "it's nice you throw these parties and all but my kid is in daycare BECAUSE I WORK FULL TIME!"
-
I have no idea. The teachers are very vague about when they give the kids the treats that they are giving for the "party" they are having for the 1-2 year old group. ps...sorry for the grumpy comment, I hate my lo's daycare.
-
6-645 is the worst time!!
Ours does things at lunch or near the end of the day at 330-4pm
-
@autumnlove: wait, 6pm!?!?! What the what...that's ridiculous! I can see getting working parents there but that's after bedtime. Do they expect you will come, get your kid, take them home, feed them dinner and bring them back? I'm so confused.
-
@Mamaof2: Kinda late but I'm excited that I can attend!
-
@mediagirl: well, she goes to daycare PT this month and is at home today with DH so it isn't that inconvenient. But it would stink on a regular day...daycare is open til 6 so we would prob just eat after the show? Or maybe i would get there early and feed her dinner? Ahhhh!
-
@autumnlove: M would be a freaking PILL if we kept her up that late and made her wait for dinner.
I think it's different for us b/c ours is 15 minutes from home, dinnertime is 5:30 and bedtime is 6:30!!
-
I remember they had one night event for Thanksgiving. It was a 6 pm dinner. So we didn't attend the first year, but we did the second when she was 18 months old. I felt like she could handle the later bedtime at that point and she did great! Otherwise, they usually have events earlier in the day.
-
@mediagirl: Ah, her dinner is usually at 5:45 (earlier if possible) and bath and bed by 7 or 7:30.
DH is going to stay home with the baby since she is sick so I'll take video for him.
-
Family events scheduled during the day....at daycare.....seems kind of funny to me.
Ours doesn't do anything since it's an in-home, though. I never even considered it! And I wouldn't leave work, drive 30 min to daycare (aka basically back home) for a lunch event, then drive all the way back to work.
-
@blackbird: Yeah our school did a lunch event once and there was no way that would work. My daughter would FREAK if I came to school, and then left without her. Like seriously FREAK.
-
@MamaMoose: I hear you!
Parties are at 1030 in the morning......how do parents go?
-
@mamamoose, exactly! seems like such a tease!
Preschool, I get...your kid can understand that "mommy's here for lunch". But i wouldn't dare mess with my 8 month old's routine by making her think noon is actually 4pm lol. She would be so confused!
-
Christmas party starts at 4 so parents can leave work early to join!
