[quote=Anonymous]OP, another way to try to gather some information would be to ask some of the other parents if they've noticed their children doing this or if they know where it could be coming from.  This may gave the one parent that the provider pointed to a chance to say "oops, that was me" or to see if other parents share your concern.

You can also go back to the provider and play along with her claim that it wasn't her, but say that it is coming from somewhere and you find it worrisome and can she correct the children so they know that none of them are "bad" boys and girls, etc.  That puts her on warning that you don't like it, and whether it was her or not, you want it stopped.

And then think about looking for another setting if you can.

When my daughter was two, she came home saying "shut up" and I quickly told her that wasn't nice, and then I told her teachers about it and asked where in the world she might have heard that. They suggested it might have been a child with an older sibling (which was possible and even likely), but it gave me a chance to talk to them about keeping an ear out for it and talking to the children about why that wasn't nice, etc.

good luck. [/quote]
