I was ticked off and dcg says mom says we can't go outside and play because we don't have shoes so now we can watch tv. They went outside barefoot! And the tv was never turned on! I try to have different toys for the kids but the parents couldn't care. I have trouble keeping the kids playing with toys. They will play for a few minutes and constantly ask for tv.
Was daily outside time and no TV discussed during the interview?

I would simply turn the family away at the door any time, they are dropped off with no shoes or proper items for outside play.

I would also speak directly to the parents about your routine of daily outside play and not allowing the kids to sit in front of the TV all day.

If they are unhappy about how you run your program, they can always move on.
