[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Yes, I drive, and I know the risks with everything else: driving, riding a bike...

I do appreciate the concrete ideas...a full time nanny is out of the question $$$....and doesn't totally help, because nanny's can murder kids also.

I am looking into a center vs in home with one caretaker, because that makes me nervous (who is coming and going)?[/quote]

A center can murder your kids too.  Or there could be a mass shooting.  [/quote]

+1. Seriously I don’t get why people think a daycare, whose caregivers you can’t vet, are safer than a nanny who you can check (references and background).  [/quote]

Because at a center, they are never alone with your child. Any abuse or mistreatment would occur in front of other staff and children. [/quote]

True but a center can still try to cover it up. For the record I do have my child in a center that I love and trust, but there was a case at another center locally where a daycare worker dislocated a kids elbow by pulling and picking her up by the arm for a diaper change.  That was unintentional but the center then tried to lie to the parents saying the kid got it by falling. They said it happened in a blind spot when in fact the incident was caught on video. They told other parents the injury occurred due to a preexisting condition in the child which was false.  The parents did report to the licensing board which investigated and found the complaint substantiated - the daycare worker did unintentionally cause the injury.  But if the incident hadn’t been caught the daycares lies would not have been exposed so clearly…. So just because an incident is witnessed by others doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t be denied or covered up.

That being said I love my daycare center and do feel like the teachers care about my daughter.  There is a lot more room to play and explore than my tiny apartment and she loves being around other children. I do trust them.
