I don't have it in my contract like Crazy 8 does, but, like her, I also don't drop everything to run to the phone. If I'm busy with the kids, and I can't get to the phone, I let it go to voice mail and I return their call when I get a break from working with the children. But I do make to have the phone close enough that if I am able to, I can answer it. When we are inside the house, my phone is in it's cradle (hung up) on my kitchen counter which is in between my kitchen and dining room. My daycare room is the next room over (the living room) with a wide opening between the rooms. When we are outside, I take the phone out with us and sit it on the porch. I might be all the way by the front gate ( about 20 feet away), but I can still hear it ring.

If it's close to pick up time, I do my best to answer it mainly out of concern that parents are calling to tell me they are going to be late. I want to answer those calls so I can let them know that I have plans after work and they need to get here as close to on time as possible. And so I know how late I will unexpectedly have their child.
