Hello, just curious for more info since you posted very recently. We were just offered a spot for toddler, moving up to preschool room shortly for CDC1. We've been doing the drop in care for a few weeks and I'm concerned just from the interactions that I see at drop off they aren't really engaging the kids as much as what I saw at our last base. For instance, at our last base, every morning we'd walk in an see them with some activity like drawing/painting at the table or singing/dancing in one area or reading a book to the group. Just something more organized to start them off with and help with separating them at drop off from parents. Walking into CDC 1 at JBAB though, the caregivers appear to just sit somewhere and monitor what the kids are doing. They've definitely been helpful when they see my kid's upset that I'm leaving and they engage more then. And my kid hasn't brought home any artwork or scribbles which we got almost daily from the last CDC we were at. Just makes me wonder what they do all day? I do plan to do a better tour and ask them more about the program in person but would like to hear any thoughts you have too. Our last base CDC was our first so we had no expectations of what the care would be like, I think we were spoiled. Just wonder how this CDC program compares. Appreciate any thoughts.
