[quote=Anonymous]Does the daycare smell clean each morning when you arrive?

At our first, it seemed like kids were sick on a cycle every 2-3 weeks. They'd get over it just in time to catch something else or another variation. I started viewing the cameras more. The kids weren't required to wash their hands before snack or lunch. It appeared hands were only cleaned after the potty-trained ones went to the bathroom. I saw teachers doing wipes on tables and chairs but never toys. I started paying more attention each morning when I dropped off. This was a very reputable facility, too.

We did tours of a few others that had been on our list and immediately smelled the cleanliness when we walked into one facility. I asked about their cleaning procedures and was shown how toys were disinfected throughout the day and each evening. Stuffed animals weren't allowed there at all and blankies/lovies could only be held during naptime. Kids washed their hands before snacks and meals and throughout the day. That was a big one for me!! We switched and it drastically improved how often the kids got sick. It went from a few times a month to maybe once or twice every 2-3 months. [/quote]
