I have a similar child. Older brothers, she's the princess.
Very naughty.... but thankfully has pulled herself together over the last few months and is an enjoyable polite child but ONLY because mom/dad got on board immediately and realized they were creating a monster.
As for the potty training...... I always respond to "she is trained at home" with:
"That's great!!! I haven't seen that ability from her here but daycare is a different environment than home I guess.
However, since I am required by licensing to maintain a sanitary environment for everyone and I have not seen the success you have seen at home I will need to require a $300 deposit if you are going to send her wear underwear.
If she remains dry like you say for two FULL weeks I will return the deposit in full but if she has any accidents I will need to use the money for professional carpet cleaning.
So totally up to you how you want to proceed."
I've never ever ever had a parent be confident enough in their words to put their money where their mouth is. Most usually back peddle and start yapping on about how i am right that the daycare environment is so much different than home etc etc.....
Thank you! I have hard Wood throughout my house, but brand new furniture (and mom is aware - she was dropping off with food/sippys and I explained that I didn’t allow food/drinks away from the table - even for my own children simply because we just bought brand new furniture through the house) so I’ll definitely tel her I will require a deposit! - another thing I’ll be adding to my contract!
