[quote=Anonymous]I posted before about my child being scared of the former Discovery Preschool teacher. I also explained that I didn't know why DC was scared of the teacher. I never found her to be unkind, mean, or rough with the kids. She was just not a kid-person, if that makes sense. Didn't smile, was rather stern in how she spoke with the kids, etc. I certainly don't think that such an attitude is a fireable offense! Perhaps she'd do better with older kids. Some people are just not cut out for caring for certain age groups.

My child is doing much, much better with the new teaching team. DC is happier, is having fun at school, and is more relaxed when I drop them off, as am I.

I investigated the NAEYC accreditation requirements when my child was at their previous daycare. Their website doesn't really have that information, so if interested, I'd suggest calling NAEYC yourselves. From what I recall, not all teachers have to have a degree in early childhood education in order to acquire the accreditation. At least 70% of the teachers have to have at least a Bachelor's in early childhood education, a CDA, or should be working towards some such certification (if I recall correctly). If these requirements are not met, NAEYC can take into account experience in childcare and some other factors. This is from memory, from info I acquired over a year ago, so I would definitely call NAEYC if interested.

My main concern at the time was if all teachers needed to have a degree for accreditation, and the answer is no.
