[quote=Anonymous]I worked at centers that are routinely described as "the best". All lead teachers were degreed. NAEYC accredited. Etc. I also worked for licensing. My experiences in daycares all over this area convinced me that my kids would never attend one. Just a couple of examples of hundreds - I taught the academic part of the day in a pre-K 4 class. Loved the kids!  I was there from 8:30 until about 12:30. I saw a teacher put her coat over a child, pretend to hug him, and twist his little ear till he screamed in pain. And she bragged about doing it all the time because it left no mark. I saw a teacher shove a pacifier into a child's mouth in the toddler room causing his mouth to bleed. Incident report said he fell. I saw a teacher take a child into the bathroom out of sight (she thought) and hit her with shoe because the child kept taking shoes off. I saw a teacher literally throw a child into a chair. The child hit his head. Hard. Incident report said child slipped while trying to sit in a chair.  I found a child in the daycare parking lot when I left one afternoon. No one had noticed he was missing. I could go in. These were degreed teachers that everyone raved about. The sad part is the kids still ran up and hugged them every day.  Of course I reported. The teachers were "counseled".

Before I get accused of being a nanny, I would never leave a young child with a nanny either. No oversight at all.  You say I am "lucky to have the choice to SAH". No. We made the choice. We sacrificed so that a parent would be the primary care giver. [/quote]
