[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the oldtownmom's post was likely by the parent of the biter in the toddler room (I also have a child there). The biting incidents ceased at the same time, I doubt it's a coincidence.

A biter deserves to be strapped in a high chair for extended periods?  Are you implying the treatment is in anyway ok?  Not the old town mom parent but I appreciated that she shared her story. I don't know why people here are trying to lesson it by demonizing her toddler?  It's a toddler not a four year old.  There are appropriate ways to handle biting that don't end up as violations.

Wow. [/quote]

I agree! I read the OTM post and feel for the mother.  We are at an in-home daycare and my son just went through a biting spell.  But it only lasted 3 days.  My daycare provider took action and kept my son close to her so she could immediately intervene.  My point is, why did Discovery Time let the biting go on for so long?  The teachers should have done something much sooner.  And restraining the toddler in a high chair for HOURS is not appropriate discipline.

I toured Discovery Time at their last open house.  My son is 2 years old so I was looking at the 2s and 3-5s room, which seems ok, given the low enrollment which means more attention toward the students. But it just does not offer the enrichment and extra curricular programs you find at other preschools (music, spanish, cooking, gardening, yoga, soccer, gym etc.).

Btw I read here that the preschool teacher recently left?  Has she been replaced?
