[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ratios vary by locality and you did not share the location of your daycare. If you think they are violating licensing requirements, contact the DSS. This is a non-negotiable requirement and I don’t understand why you have t already said something. [/quote]

It is DC, I have checked the requirements online. I am afraid to create trouble  as I do not plan to leave that daycare. It is the cheapest in the area and it is not that bad otherwise. [/quote]

DP.  Frankly, this kind of thing is why they are the cheapest.  If you report it, the daycare may very well have to drop some families unless/until they can hire more staff. I’m not saying it’s okay, but it’s reality. The squeaky wheel is likely to be dropped first, so if you report it I would have a back-up plan in mind. [/quote]

How can they remove me? The main problem is the stuff, the extra kid does not happen often - a few times per 6 months, BUT pulling kids into one room because the stuff hours do not match the daycare hours is a problem. The daycare used to work till 6 pm before COVID, the licence say 6:30pm , when we join it was till 5:30 and parents had to fight to move it to 5:45 with some increase in tuition [/quote]

What do mean, how can they remove you?  If they are found to violate staffing ratios (or are worried about a licensure report because of a parent complaint) and can’t/won’t hire additional staff right away, then they will need to drop some families to come into compliance. That may or may not include you. Or if it’s really only an issue after 5pm, they may cut back their hours again. [/quote]
