[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]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.[/b] [/quote]

You are a bit dim-witted, aren't you?  If you MADE the choice, you obviously HAD the choice.  Saying you sacrificed so that you can stay home still makes you fortunate enough to be able to do that.  What did you sacrifice?  Food? housing? because you do realize some of us would have to sacrifice those things to "make the choice" you made.[/quote]
