For moms who have an inhome daycare or send your kids to one...

What are the rules you all have as far as things like running, climbing, moving furniture, wtc

My house was not a playground. I expected the kids to have fun but still respect my home. Running only happened when my dad chased them.

NONE of that. Running, climbing outside.

We use walking feet and feet on the floor
Indoor voices
You sit on my furniture correctly or I will not allow you to sit on it.
If I decide we can build forts then we can move the furniture.
You will respect me and my home or your parents will be given 2 weeks notice .
In 16 years I never had a problem.

I dont have a daycare in my home but when my grandkids come and I watch them we have rules that we dont run in my home, my furniture is not to climb on. Outside is perfect for all that :)

I have the same rules.  My house my rules.  They can do all of their running, climbing and moving things when we are outside.

I have been sending my two to a private home-run daycare for years.  They are allowed to run, climb and do most things to keep them active.  They are not allowed to move furniture or do any thing to potentially harm the home.  

Pretty much the rules there are similar to our own home.
