Hi ladies. I've been doing home childcare for 2.5 years now. I am license exempt in my state since I care for less than 5 children. I have very few policies, but am developing them as I go... And as I learn my lessons the hard way 😉 We're moving in a few weeks and I feel like it's the perfect time to remind of/ add policies. I've been lax on some and don't have a policy on others that I've decided I HAVE to have if I am to continue doing this. I have 2 dcm's who are awful about lingering at drop off / pick up....like 20 minutes +!!! I'm too nice, I know and it's just gotten out of hand. The worst offender is first in by at least 45 mins so.... I am going to institute a 5 minute policy. I've cared for them all for 6 mos-2.5 years, so these aren't new parents. The worst one is also extremely oblivious to simple cues (bag held out, kid ready to go, my body language)

So, how do you word your policy on this? Thanks!
