I do business hours from 7:00-5:30. I do have drop off and pickup windows from 7:00-8:30 and 3:30-5:30. That way I know all children will be dropped off and picked up Within this window of time. I know contracted hours work for some, but I would feel uncomfortable charging someone a late fee when I still had kids here and was working. Plus I only take full time Monday-Friday families so it is uncommon to have someone who picks up or drops off outside of my "windows". Plus I always have someone here till closing anyway so for me it just is easier to do business hours. Some take advantage at times, but as long as they aren't past my closing time then I just figure that is part of it.
