[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have time to wait it out then wait it out. Time will help with everything.

If you don’t then start to think of other options that you may need to take. If this is a large daycare center, you may want to try something else. It can be an intimidating environment for a small child due to the amount of kids and people in the building. [/quote]

I don't like big centers. I prefer a nanny or a small family daycare[/quote]

You just proved the point that if you don’t get them prepared for a 27-1 ratio in kindergarten early, they will not be prepared.  “Big centers” do that based off of COMAR regulations for the county.  1:3 infant, 1:6 toddlers, 1:10 preschool, 1:12 pre k.  By allowing your child not to follow these ratios, you are handicapping them for kindergarten,  having them at a daycare that has four kids in a two year old class and then 6 in preschool and then 8 in pre k is horrible when they have to transition to 27 in kindergarten.

The posters saying they hate big centers are typically owners of home daycares and church centers trying to rile up for business. It’s not the best way to have your child prepared. Socialization is key.  Small and large group interactions.  The more kids the more opportunity for your child to meet a friend with like interests.

It's true. Young kids shouldn't be in big centers. So young. Soon they will be in kindergarten with a big class with 1 teacher. Classes needs 2 assistants, too many kids[/quote][/quote]
