[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Daycares do not have either oversight or accountability, so there, and the teachers are mostly random people working somewhere while looking for "job."[/b] After couple of years, many actually apply for nanny jobs. Our nanny provides more activities and structure than any daycare, and there are lots of women in nanny world who are purposefully looking to work with young kids for the love of work, and they get higher wages. Cannot find them in a daycare.[/quote]

I don’t understand your agenda here. My daughters first daycare [b]teachers had been in their (background checked, degree-required) positions for 10 and 14 years respectively. Her current teachers [/b]have been there for 16 and 8 years.

Are you by any chance a nanny yourself? Because this information isn’t difficult to come by. [/quote]

They aren’t teachers. They wipe butts, feed bottles and wrangle crying babies.  They are lowly paid and typically uneducated minorities.  They aren’t teachers.  Maybe they should be teachers, but they aren’t. [/quote]

I don't know why it's hard to understand that daycares vary, and somebody who can afford a nanny can also afford a good daycare. Child development is a field of study. I wanted caretakers who had studied it to know how to deal with kids appropriately, and who got regular training and support of the type an accredited center can provide. And who got breaks and sick days, so they weren't checked out. 
Daycare (infant-4) taught my kid table manners, potty and hygeine, her numbers and letters and how to write her name. They did theme lessons like the water cycle, caterpillars, and civil rights in the context of holidays like 4th and MLK day. So yes, they are teachers. [/quote]
