This, 100%. To me, when a parent chooses to enroll their child in a family childcare program, they are understanding that my family will be present. I will not hide my husband or limit his access to our home while I am working because that is not what family childcare is about. I do not consider him popping into the playroom after work a "visit", because this is his home and as my husband he has a place in my family childcare.

My DCB's get so excited when my DH is home early. He plays with them differently than I do, and therefore in their eyes that makes him so much cooler than Miss A.
