I have been always a "Shoes Off" in the house Mommy/ Provider. I must admit that lately I have not been taking my daughters off each and every time. We have to go in and out of the house 3 times within an hour to get our DCG's off the bus so I am being lazy. We recently had a new floor put in and the dirt does not show . What does everyone do with shoes???

We tried lots of different ways but ended up with "inside shoes". We provide crocs for each child, they take off their outside shoes and slip into their crocs when they come in. The children can take off/put on by themselves easily and they are not slippery on our laminate floor. We had a problem with socks getting grimy (even though we sweep and mop daily) so the crocs solved that problem too.

No shoes, although I am not especially hyper about it with the dcp's. The kids, yes, but sometimes I give the parents a pass because they are just coming in to see what's going on in the playroom (which they can't see from the front door), and it'd take too long to take their shoes off, check in with me, get their child, put their shoes on, then their child's shoes on, etc.

I have a sign at the door that says "Take off your shoes and rock your socks".

Shoes on. Maybe its how you grow up and the area you live in. I grew up with leaving shoes on in the house. Even my extended family leaves shoes on. In all my 42 years I have only been asked to remove my shoes at one home and that was an family that was from India.

We have hardwood floors & kids can wear what they want here too. Most will take theirs off after we come inside, some will leave them on. Mine stay on.
Once we had a fire drill with the state inspector. As we were coming in, the kids who normally take theirs off went to the shoe box to remove their shoes. Only then did they notice they didn't have theirs on, .
