I also wouldn't do a grace period because it gets taken advantage of and then they question your late fee/policy. I tell dcps and it's written in my handbook that child must be signed out by their contracted time or a late fee will be charged. It is even stated to give themselves enough to time to arrive before their contracted end time. I ended up buying a small travel clock that I taped inside my sign in/out binder with a note on it saying licensing and food program requires the exact time child is signed in/out. Now the dcps use it for the time.
