I would politely inform the guardian of our late policy. I would then explain that is means staff must stay late with their child, and how their child is feeling confused why she is picked up last again. I would ask if there have been any changes in work or if there are any ways we can help support her to arrive on time for pickup.

I would have a conversation with the parent discussing what is making them so late and informing on the issues regarding their late arrival. I would inform the parent of the policies of the daycare regarding pick up and drop off as well as explain to them that it requires staff to stay longer when they are late. If it happened again then I would give them a written notice.

[Danielle]

Gently have a chat, reminding that pickup time is at X. Be understanding that everyone does have their own schedules and yet firm on the rules of the school. We have these rules for pickup in place for the safety of everyone involved and want to make sure that we work a different solution/schedule if the current one is not working. Acknowledge the work of parents/guardians by bringing light to the great child they are raising and highlight how we want this to be the best experience, most conducive to success for the child.

[Trainer]

Danielle, your response is thoughtful and respectful. It’s important to address the issue with Mrs. Hopkins in a gentle and understanding manner, while also emphasizing the importance of adhering to pickup times for the safety of everyone involved. Acknowledging the efforts of the parents in raising a great child and emphasizing the desire for a positive experience for the child is a great approach. It’s also crucial to work together to find a solution that works for everyone. Well done!

[Jordie]

In the scenario where this is the third time in two weeks that Mrs. Hopkins has picked up her child late and the last time she didn’t arrive 20 minutes until after closing time I would start out talking to her to see what is going on and if there is anything I could do to help. I would remind her of the extra charges that are in the contract when this happens and if it continues we would not be able to have her attend the daycare.

[Trainer]

Jordie, it’s important to address the issue of late pick-ups with Mrs. Hopkins. Starting with a conversation to understand what’s going on and offering support is a good approach. Reminding her of the extra charges outlined in the contract for late pick-ups is also necessary. However, it’s important to approach the situation with empathy and understanding while clearly communicating the repercussions if the issue persists. It’s crucial to maintain a professional and respectful dialogue to find a solution that works for both parties.

[Jennifer McGarvey]

This is the third time in the last two weeks that Mrs. Hopkins has pickup her child late. Today she did not arrive until 20 minutes after closing time. What would you do?

I would kindly let Mrs. Hopkins know that 20 minutes may not seem very long to the parent, but it affects our staff and her child. We are understanding that urgent matters may come up from time to time, but we don’t want to make a habit of being late. I would then remind her of the school’s pick up policies and expectations and the consequences if this habit continues.

[Sydney]

This is the third time in the last two weeks that Mrs. Hopkins has picked up her child late. Today she did not arrive until 20 minutes after closing time.

• When bringing up the issue, I would be as understanding and empathetic as possible. Relaying that I understand the struggles of parenthood and emphasizing the positive aspects of her child and her effort in parenting. I would then ask her if there is something going on that we’re unaware of and if any changes need to be made that works for both her and the center while also bringing up the impact of late pick-up on her child and the center and that we need a solution. I would again emphasize her effort and the positives of her child and that we are willing to come up with a solution that works for everyone involved.

[Makina]

Having a conversation with the parent about being late repeatedly could go a long way and help te facility get a better understanding of what the problem is with picking up the child late and also letting the parent know that it affects their child when they are late because being used to a routine and then having slight adjustments could make an impact on the child.

[Maria Johnson]

I would tell her to ask a trusted relative to pick up the child and notify the school.

[Kalee]

I’d ask the mother the reason why she’s late, emergency traffic, etc, then I’d explain to the mom the policy on late pick ups and that they usually come with a fine and try to work with her on a way that helps her pick up on time

[Trainer]

Kalee, your response shows empathy and understanding towards the mother’s potential reasons for being late. It’s important to address the situation with compassion and communicate the policy on late pick-ups to the mother while offering support to help her pick up on time in the future. Well done in considering the needs of both the child and the parent in this challenging situation.

[Yulia Drozdova]

Start a conversation with Mom asking questions why it happens. Then tell her how the situation could hurt her child and be inconvenient for the teacher. Remind the rules and regulations of the center. Discuss what she and the teacher can do for future to avoid that kind of situation

[Jenna]

The next time she comes in, I would pull her aside and be clear about pick up times. As well as our policy for late pickups. I would just be clear how it not only effects the school when she late, but her child as well.

[Trainer]

Jenna, your response is thoughtful and proactive. It’s important to communicate openly with parents about the impact of late pick-ups on the school and their child.

[Tetiana Nix]

I would first remind her of our policy and then I would also talk to her to see if there’s anything going on that is causing her to pick up really late and if there’s anything that we can do to help and understand the reason of her being late
