I also agree with bunnyslippers...I don't mind if a parent has something to do on a day off, BUT can they not drop or pick-up at a different time that works around their appointment?

My teacher family had this past Monday off, schools were all closed for Easter and yet at 7:30 am on the dot the door bell rang and sure enough they were here for the day! They didn't get picked up until almost 5 pm either and I close at 5 pm.

I'm not sure it would bother me as much if they said, I have some things to do so I will bring X at 9 am vs 7:30 am and will pick-up as soon as I am done. That to me seems fair, to the child, the parent and me.
