[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the PP about childcare.  I was the lead teacher in a kindergarten classroom.  It was a daycare as well.  I was there during the academic part of the day.  Basically 8:30 until 12:30.  I also worked with licensing for several years and did inspections.  I'm not going to share stories because I would just be accused of being a troll.  But I swore I would never put my child in a daycare center after seeing what goes on even in the very best.

It gets better when kids become more verbal.  At least then they can tell you what happens.  [/quote]

Yep. I've worked in NAEYC accredited, reputable programs, and I still have horror stories.

Let's just say I spent A LOT of time picking my child's center, and then I basically lived there his first month, and still keep his days very short.

I kept him home as long as possible (8 mos.) and then I actually quit my ft job to work pt when it was time for him to start child care. [/quote]

What would be some horror story type incidents? Are the kids hurt?[/quote]

I'm the PP with the dim ex-Montessori teacher friend. Yes, there was a specific incident when a child was hurt on the playground under her watch (and the watch of another teacher although they sort of pointed fingers). She was put on probation during the investigation. I don't think there was a lawsuit but she might not have known if one did exist. [/quote]
