I serve from 7-8:30. If a child arrives late and hasn't been fed, I feed him anyway...I won't let a child go hungry because their parent failed to feed them or arrive on time for breakfast. BUT, it RARELY happens.

As a pp said, is it possible to move breakfast time to end at 8:30? That's what I would do....especially if it is a daily thing.

BUT, I WOULD have a heart to heart with Mom. Be blunt, it's simple: "My policies are in place for valid reasons, and I put much consideration into how they would effect my daycare families, as well as my own family before I put them in writing. They are in place to ensure that all children recieve the quality care they deserve and that they are able to enjoy their time in care. You need to be respectful of those policies, or you will need to find another program that can better meet the needs of your family and your schedule."
