A provider can make any policy they want - the issue is IF that rule will be upheld by licensing.
For instance, I know some providers here have a rule that doesn't allow pick ups during nap time. This is actually against regulations in my state. If a parent wants to pick up their child at any time, I need to hand their kid over. Doesn't matter that it might be in my contract and the parent signed it.
Now, I don't *think* licensing would condone a parent hanging out for hours at a clip, but I couldn't swear to it.
Again, the op should really bring her concerns to the provider.
