[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I don't see where I said I need an aide.  That would be a huge financial burden and so unnecessary.  The school said they would be able to carry her down/up the stairs to go outside twice a day.  That it would be no problem.  But now they are saying they are worried about doing that in an emergency.

A few have suggested moving the 2 year olds downstairs but there is no space.  Currently the 2, 3 and 4-5 year olds are upstairs with two sets of stairs, including a few very small businesses in the building.  I feel like an actual emergency would be a nightmare situation.  [/quote]

I don't see how you can say that evacuating in an emergency would be a nightmare even without a staff member needing to carrying your child, but then say it shouldn't be a big deal if one of their staff members has to carry your child rather than helping a whole group get down stairs.[/quote]

Both scenarios would be a nightmare.  Maybe the bigger issue is they have 8:1 ratio which is terrible for a 2 story school.  Especially after I learn DC is 4:1 and MD is 6:1, I thought we were 8:1 b/c that was all that was needed.  [/quote]

So even if they give you the accommodations you want, you still have serious concerns about your child's safety. It sounds like maybe you should find a different daycare.[/quote]

OP here, like I have said, there are no daycares with immediate openings in our area or waitlists that aren't huge.  There is one that is new I can tour, I am so happy with this school accommodating her in every other way.  They have never complained about her PT coming in weekly and are so eager to help her get around otherwise.  I would really hate to leave them, which is why I made this post, I really want to make this work.  [/quote]
