[quote=Anonymous]I too am a parent at the center and the whole debacle is a mess.  And no, I did not call to complain...

But, let's face it, for every parent who feels a situation should be handled one way, there is another parent who feels it should be handled another.  There is no right answer and the finger pointing should stop.  I agree with previous posters that the buck stops with the administration.  While I did not feel my child was in immediate peril I was concerned about what may be growing as a result of the flood in future years and since we plan to be with the center for another few years, I did feel strongly about getting the problem resolved right away rather than waiting a few years for health problems to manifest. i wanted to be assured the problem had been properly assessed and remedied.  Several of the parents even asked for a meeting so that they could be assured and feel comforted that any concerns were being addressed.  i was one of those parents...and I feel that with the amount of tuition I pay, it IS within my right to get an affirmative answer that A) the problem is being addressed B) there will not be any future problems that will impact the health of the children because of the steps being taken.

Further, what if there was a fire??  The fact that children under 2 were on a basement level and the director didn't know that THAT was a safety issue further illustrates that the administration is just not being as thorough as they need to be in insuring the safety of the children.  And, let me say we LOVE our teachers and know they LOVE my children, but the director still put the babies in harms way.   This to me indicates that she is clueless on safety matters and that parents were within their right to feel concerned about their children.

Was it right to call OSSE?  I can't say.  What I can say is that I hope this issue exemplifies to the Center that resting on laurels isn't okay and that parents of the center are looking for SOME sort of connection to the administration so they feel they have somewhere to voice their concerns to so they are heard.
