You only have to make the relationship last till the kid is in school. Don’t tell your employers, do what you like, it’s your life. Sick of people being expected to make everyone else happy

Look into your contract. As someone who works in child care I have seen this a lot and it usually ends with the teacher fired/quitting or the parent taking the child out of the daycare. Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea but it’s your personal life so technically there shouldn’t be a law or rule against it.
Usually employers frown upon things such as this. If it does not work out they could lose business or have allegations against them thrown out.

Better ask your boss; most places do have rules against that

I feel like as long as there is no favoritism because of the relationship and it doesn’t affect you job then it’s your business. Not theirs.
Check your handbook/hiring paperwork. Either way I would be 100% transparent with your director.
Never dip your pen in company ink.
That also goes for ‘clients’ of the centre.

I wouldn’t date anyone where you make your money whether they’re a worker or a customer. It can be messy. But put your happiness first.

So many men in the sea, don’t date your students or their parents. lol
It’s a conflict of interest but if you’re going to do it anyway, just be discreet.
Not unless there’s a rule at your company.

FYI to this post or anything. Men will say they’re separated or divorced. They’re not. They’re trying to get a piece. They’re fooling around on their wife with you. You could meet them anywhere, supermarket, store, gyms, etc. Many men lie and say they’re divorced but they’re not. They’re re pigs.

How would we know the rules of your place of employment? Did you get an employee handbook when you started? Ask them the rules about that
Legal? Is the dad underage? Or are you?
If consenting adults date, it’s legal.
However, your employer probably has a no fraternizing with clients policy. You probably will lose your job. It’s completely legal to fire you for this reason.
Of you really like him, consider changing daycare to eliminate any conflict of interest
He has a baby mommy, Be careful

Check your employee manual. They may have a clause, if not just set some ground rules so that if things don’t work out the child(ren) aren’t effected by it. If your employer is okay with it and you like each other and are both single , go for it, just proceed with caution for the sake of the kids and professionalism
I would see it this way,it’s kinda like boss employee. And there is usually something against it to prevent a sexual harassment suite. But I could be wrong. Yes, look into your contract.
Your employee handbook with rules and regulations should have that outlined. If you don’t have an employee handbook I would speak with your Director … if his child is in your direct care I would think that would be a conflict of interest especially if you break up. Check it out with your boss and keep yourself protected and don’t do anything to jeopardize your employment.
No you can not get into trouble. They won’t say anything either.
Why is everyone getting riled up over this girl live your life and do what you want. If it’s in your handbook that you can’t, then find a new job. New jobs are easy to find anyway. Don’t let all these Karen’s try and shame you.

As a general rule mixing business an pleasure isn’t a good idea. That being said I met my husband at work, he was my mentor but we didn’t start dating till years later and we were not working together anymore. Just keep your personal life private and you do you.

It’s probably not illegal, but it might be against your employer’s rules. I’d check their rules, so you don’t lose your job.

Its definitely frowned upon because relationships= drama. But if there arent any rules written about it they cant do much.

Ask your employer. I worked at a daycare with the director absolutely forbad any thing like that. If she found out you were babysitting for any of the kids or you were friends on fb with any parents, she would fire you. I didn’t like that rule at all. I had another school where the director didn’t care at all

Depends on your jobs policy I think. I worked at vet clinics that specifically said we couldn’t date clients because it’s a conflict of interest. But if you were dating before they were a client it wasn’t a problem

Well, my Great Grandma worked at the orphanage my Great Grandpa would leave my Grandpa and 2 Uncle’s everyday to go to work.
. She became the my family that way and raised three boys after their birth Mom abandoned them.
Soooo. Sure, why not?!
It’s not illegal and it’s not a rule breaker.
To be fair also, it’s no one’s business. So those saying “speak to your boss” etc, no. You do not need permission to date or not to date.
The only job that forbids that, is hospitals etc with their patients.
Idk but I have a friend who was dating a daycare teacher and his BM found out (they were still on and off lol) so she found out and went to the daycare and beat the teacher up

Whatever you signed when you got hired, you might want to get a copy of it.
I am the Asst. Director of my daycare and marrying a guy, I meet here, next month. It isn’t a state regulation but be honest with your boss about it. It was a rule here not too but sometimes you can’t help it. Onky thing is if you split up and on bad terms he could try and get you fired or that daycare loose a child being enrolled there.

Always check your employers policies first.
Also, be prepared if in the case, if it doesn’t work out you will have to see this parent at drop offs and pick ups.

It would depend on the policy where you work. However it more than likely isn’t a good idea to do that and I wouldn’t.

Usually never mix business with pleasure is a good rule to stick with. But if you’re still wanting to do it I would check with your employer first and see what their rules are on it.
No there’s no law. Just know it may be up to your employer. I know first hand😂 I had begun dating a father from daycare and the day my boss found out she made me choose to quit/ be fired or not date him. I chose him and quit and now we’ve been together for 5 years with a baby on the way🥰
