YUCK, I never realized that they could actually have dirty feet in the morning?! Do you have a policy about arriving clean in general? I'm going to have that in my policy because it's something common sense, but if we must get down to the nitty-gritty it may as well be a policy, LOL!

Sounds like you should try what Heather B said about immediately putting socks into shoes once removed so you don't have to hunt and have extra pairs. We have the same issue at the daycare, but most parents don't remember what their child was even wearing when they dropped them off!
