I haven't had a sign in log up to this point. After reading all of you input on the subject I am going to start one on 1/1 (many things are changing effective 1/1).
I have a SA boy (same one that I have the 1/2 day issue with) He is my earliest drop off.
Dad has recently (last 3 weeks) taken to letting him out in the driveway and once my door opens he waves from the car and pulls out.
Does anyone have parents that do this? I have mixed feelings but I suppose they don't matter since effective 1/1 he will have no choice but to come in.
When my sister did daycare she watched my kids and I did the drop off at the door - but it was a little different because it was family. Her house was literally their second home.
the other reason I like it is because dad talks too much..LOL And I avoid that.

All of my parents except one drop their SA's off w/o coming inside. They know that if the lights are on and the door is open, it's ok. On days that I'm closed, I make a point of keeping the door closed/locked and the lights off for the inevitable parent that "forgets" that I'm closed. 
I'm ok with the one that comes in, b/c it's also the parent who often forgets to pay, so I like being able to remind them!

I am a huge fan of adult-to-adult pick up and drop off. That way, the kids know that we communicate about them, and they don't get away with as much.

I don't let anybody drop-off or pick-up their kids without coming to the door themselves. They have to physically come in and sign the sheet. It's not mandatory here to have the sign-in sheets but I do it anyway so that there is no excuse as to them not coming in and walking them out.
It's more of a safety thing for me. I'd be worried that a kid wouldn't make it inside on their own or somehow end up in the street.

I have had only 1 parent do this, I didn't like it for 2 reasons I don't think it's nice to just drop them off like that AND in this situation it avoided confrontation when they didn't bring a check SO that caused issues it was a convenient way for them to say oh I forgot or he forgot to take it. ALL the time. They aren't with me anymore but I think most people wouldn't do it so I never put it in my contract that they needed to come to the door with their child.

Same here and my contract is similarly worded.I don't let anybody drop-off or pick-up their kids without coming to the door themselves. They have to physically come in and sign the sheet.
