[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear PP, my child is 15 months and still takes 2 naps. To the parents talking about curriculum for 7 month olds - you cannot be serious? Even assuming there is a "curriculum", do you think the inexperienced and unmotivated, overworked and underpaid staff can "implement" it? my colleague who has a 6 month old in a daycare states that a full set of teachers in her classroom has already changed during her 2 months there, and some teachers look very inexperienced. I think the people on here  hire very cheap nannies if they are not even reading to the babies which is a basic task required of any nanny. You can request and control what your  nanny is doing.

This varies greatly and I’ve found that you basically get what you pay for (probably just like nannies), but… yes! There is a curriculum, and its being followed. I get 5-10ish pictures a day, throughout the day, and multiple pieces of artwork. I also see my kid coming home having learned new songs, learned new skills, and excited to go back the next day. Its true that it has been hard to retain teachers in many daycares due to low pay and hard conditions, but our daycare sees very little turnover and that was also a factor in our decision. So there you go. [/quote]
