If you are prepared to shut the whole daycare down in two months anyway, why not get super firm on everything and quit messing around. Let the parent know that your new policy is that parents and child must have a quick pickup within 5 minutes. If she can't follow your policy changes, why not just let her go and find someone else who can? especially since all this craziness is making you feel that you might close the daycare anyway? don't apologize or explain. just tell her exactly what you expect. give one firm warning that you will have to consider letting her go if she cannot respect the new changes and then let her go if she really can't. you let all this happen so its up to you to make the change. i would never let a parent hang out for 30 minutes a day.
