My daughter's preschool recently banned the parents from organising informal trips to the local soft play centre straight after preschool. The reason being that not all the kids were invited because it was a spontaneous, last-minute thing, and not all the parents know each other well enough. No-one was actually excluded. But during preschool some of the children talked about where they were going and others got upset because they hadn't been invited.
When we came to collect our children there was a notice on the door asking parents not to go to the soft play centre after preschool and to do it at the weekend instead. This wouldn't work for a lot of families and we wanted to go on a Tuesday as it is half price.
The only solution seems to be for the parents to organise it over the phone and whisk the kids off on Tuesday without telling them in advance. But I don't really want to be thought sneaky, cliquey or dishonest.
Are preschools within their rights to do this? Isn't it up to everybody what they do outside preschool hours?
