[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. My kids are older, but I was a SAHM for many years. I remember seeing these nannies at the park zoning out on their phones while their little charge yelled for them from the monkey bars to come catch them.

But the camp counselors were worse. They were more engaged with the kids, but they were yelling at the kids constantly and talking smack about certain kids in the group in a loud voice. Maybe it was just the camps I saw, but I didn't like what I saw. That's why I never sent my kids to day camps in the summer. I saw the other side of these "enrichment camps" at parks, and pools.

I saw similar things. However, I used to pass by a full-day preschool pretty regularly, and every time I passed by it seemed like the kids were being actively watched by multiple people and cared for and seemed really happy. I knew that was where i wanted to send my kid.

PP here. Not saying all daycares are good. There's one in home I drive by where the provider is always outside yakking on her phone during the middle of the day and i know she's the only one watching the kids.

She's leaving the kids inside unsupervised?![/quote]

Maybe she’s talking on the phone outside because the kids are napping? My in home had the kids on a schedule. After she finished lunch clean up and prepped afternoon snacks and activities, she would talk on the phone on the front stoop and eat her own lunch with a baby monitor next to her. Seems totally normal and reasonable to me. What is she supposed to do - sit in a dim room and stare at my sleeping child? [/quote]

In Maryland if they are licensed they need to be on the same floor. They can’t exit the building, even with a monitor.[/quote]

This is Virginia where this lady is. I know her daycare is on the basement and she's standing outside the main level of her house yakking away. But she's not state-licensed, just FFX county licensed. [/quote]
