I don't like big centers. I prefer a nanny or a small family daycare

You just proved the point that if you don’t get them prepared for a 27-1 ratio in kindergarten early, they will not be prepared. “Big centers” do that based off of COMAR regulations for the county. 1:3 infant, 1:6 toddlers, 1:10 preschool, 1:12 pre k. By allowing your child not to follow these ratios, you are handicapping them for kindergarten, having them at a daycare that has four kids in a two year old class and then 6 in preschool and then 8 in pre k is horrible when they have to transition to 27 in kindergarten.

The posters saying they hate big centers are typically owners of home daycares and church centers trying to rile up for business. It’s not the best way to have your child prepared. Socialization is key. Small and large group interactions. The more kids the more opportunity for your child to meet a friend with like interests.

It's true. Young kids shouldn't be in big centers. So young. Soon they will be in kindergarten with a big class with 1 teacher. Classes needs 2 assistants, too many kids

Putting infants and toddlers in daycare centers has been normalized even though it may not be in the best interest of any child.

And yet when they get to ES you could not pick out which ones went to daycare and which ones didn't.

I totally disagree with this. We could definitely identify the kids in my DDs PK4 class that had been home with a nanny. A lot were disruptive and has trouble adjusting.

The PP was talking infants and toddlers in daycare, not 3 year olds.

You can't compare the attention a child gets from a daycare with 4 or 6 kids or at home and a center's class of 12 kids for 1 teacher

Young children needs small groups, that's enough for making connections for the brain, daily activities and socialization with kids all ages. It's good for infants to socialize with older kids. Everyone learns from each other. Young kids don't talk but can understand and they are learning to socialize with enough of individual attention because they are a small group.

You can't just transition young kids to big classrooms.They are too young. And they do need to socialize with other kids and even better of different ages
Small groups for young kids is better imo.

Many older kids struggles because there aren't enough staff to help them. It's not always great.

If a parent makes their kid cry should I call CPS?

LOL

Don't judge parents who chooses daycare, center, nanny or stays at home.
It's fine and it's a choice. Children gets the love and attention.

And I'm sure you let your child cry when he's acting like a brat, tantrums tantrums😂🤣


Anyone can be abusive, parents, educators. It's worse at home. Because no one is there besides the parents and the kid .
Most sexual abuse happens at home and with a close relative

Our kids are thriving after being daycare. They're doing great at school. I wish I caught them a second language.
Studies days children learning 2 languages are smarter and has better memory and makes lots of connections in the brain. But it's not too late.

Anyways, don't judge parents. It's their choice

Don't give cookies or candy when your kids are having tantrums.

Keep diciplining your kids, doesn't matter if they are at home or finished daycare or nanny. Keep diciplining and stop spoiling them if you don't want to see bad behavior at school, etc
