Guillermina, it is important to address this situation with Mrs. Hopkins in a respectful and understanding manner. It is a good idea to have a conversation with the parent to understand the reasons behind the late pick-ups and work together to find a solution. Also, expressing concern for the child’s well-being and the impact of prolonged separation from peers is important. Encouraging open communication and collaboration can lead to a positive resolution for all involved.
