I would call and ask to speak to the supervisor. Resources are for 0-6, a seat on the floor is not a resource. That’s so frustrating

I get you, but just imagine if every mother who was in that situation who had younger kids who also then brought their older kids due to the same circumstance, there would be A TON of extra people there taking up space (even if they were just sitting at their parents’ feet) which takes away from the kids who went there to avail of the playtime who were actually allowed.

The problem I have found is those ages 7-9 cannot and never do sit the whole time. They are still kids. They may do a craft best case scenario, worst case scenario they make it dangerous for my little

Every early on I’ve been to has told me if the youngers are there, they are ok with the older as long as they are not being obnoxious. Ours is 0-6 but the staff are usually pretty lenient

Could it be an insurance situation ? Where they are only insured for ages 0-6 and in case of an emergency or an accident they would be liable as well as lose their coverage ?

Lafleur 🇨🇦 :
I guess it’s because if everyone started bringing an older sibling then there could be too many people there, which could become dangerous so they have to say no.

I think the centres should adapt their approach and have a section for older siblings, so many parents are having bigger age gaps and its hard to do things as a whole family these days

I think it's one of those situations where if they let your 8yr old even, another parent might question why they also couldn't bring their 8yr old. If every family brought a sibling outside of 0-6yrs

This happens in our city too. They started doing a certain day of the week that they will let older kids come as long as they have a younger sibling. Is it a capacity thing? Maybe only a certain

I completely understand your frustration! My daughter just turned 7 and I’ve been bringing her to early on and hoping this doesn’t happen. I get the rules but as long as he’s respectful and playing nicely why can’t he stay. Especially with your other kids being in the 0-6, this age group is the same for my area too.

Not sure what early on is. But in BC we have strong start (only school days) and it's 0-6 but there is sometimes school age kids there that are homeschooled. And they play as well but know to be 1/2

I would be so annoyed if I went to early on and I couldn’t get in that day because there were a bunch of kids older than 6 taking up space. Ours counts every single individual that is there.

I would contact the lead for Earlyon in your area. I don't think that's right. I know the baby days are super strict but the open age he should of been allowed to stay.

But if they break the rule for you, they have to let everyone do it. Then it turns into a huge thing. Rules are for everyone to follow. A teen is totally different, they are actively playing with toys
