[quote=Anonymous]Have you told them you're concerned about all the TV time?  I would talk to them about it before giving a bad reference.   There may be an explanation of sorts ("sorry, I've had a terrible cold; we'll cut it back again starting this week") or a plan ("we do it during drop off and pick up so that we can talk to the parents") that you may or may not find acceptable.  But since they gave you as a reference, it sounds like they have no idea you may be unhappy.

As for the reference, it sounds like she has already given out your number.  If they call, be honest - "we  liked them a lot at first but I'm concerned about the amount of screen time the kids have; I've been meaning to talk to the providers about it."

As for the other center, it's hard to have an opinion about which daycare option would be better for your family though!  I went with a small, kinda rundown older center near my house instead of one near my job because we liked the staff just as well and it's a lot easier on all of us to have DD near home.  Spouse and I can more easily share dropoff and pickup; she spends more time with us in aggregate.[/quote]
