[quote=Anonymous][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.

can you clarify if you are the same parent who wrote this earlier in the week:

Claire is the one who [b]I could not stand [/b]and who my DC was scared of. DC just did not like her, and when I mentioned on the way to school that we were going to see her, DC would say, "No, no, no - no Miss Claire." Hardly reassuring. [b]I have several anecdotes about her that made me nervous about her even before the center opened, but I'll save you all the angst.[/b] I am just glad that she has moved on from that class.

The post from earlier this week led me to think, based on the bolded statements above, that it was more than just a case of the teacher being someone who is not kid-friendly.  Perhaps it's two different parents commenting on the same teacher.[/quote]
