[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if there is a continuing pattern of issues, some of them repeating, it is absolutely logical to question whether the leadership is doing its job.

I think the list of issues provided earlier is indicative of a failure at the leadership level.

Consider this...

It is probably safe to assume that these staffers are not paid enormous sums of money despite having an incredibly important job, probably more important than any job held by the parents that have their children enrolled in this facility. Day care providers do heroes work as far as I'm considered. That said...in any place of business where the pay is not lucrative the way you get high performance is through respect and positive reinforcement from the leadership level. Respect and positive reinforcement is not issuing correspondence and giving TV interviews where you make sure it is clear that the staff, AND THE CHILD, are to blame. As was mentioned earlier...the Exec Dir made it seem like it was the child's fault for possibly wandering off. As was also mentioned earlier...the Exec Dir also lied in the interview regarding the child's continued enrollment at the facility.

It seems based on the list of issues provided earlier that FCC may have been flying under the radar for some time. It seems the luck has run out and a lot is coming out in the wash now. How the Board responds to all of this is going to determine the long-term existence of the facility. It's time to earn your title as an FCC Board Member. A poor showing that retains leadership because they like each other could jeopardize a whole lot.[/quote]

+1 about the caregivers. I have no connection to FCC but do have a child in a center downtown where they do go out as well. Maybe there are just some bad staff there, but I can't say enough about the underpaid caregivers where we are. My daughter's teacher was in tears when she found out a long time classmate's last day was that day. Her parents had never told her directly that she was going to another school! I couldn't even imagine not mentioning something like that to them as we are always talking with her teacher's about what's going on and even getting to know about their lives as well. Please remember to support the teacher's as well, as I'm sure how you treat them, rubs off on how they treat you're child.[/quote]
