[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO (and experience), people who do not like BH centers are not going to like any center.  They are the parents who are not involved in their child's education and YES it is education, at least starting in the toddler rooms.  We love our BH, but it takes work.  You have to talk to the teachers and the administration and let them know you want a partnership with them to do what is best for your child.  You have to take time at the beginning of the day to treat them like people even when you are running late for work.  You have to take time at the end of the day to (patiently) wait for them to have a moment to chat with you about your child's day.  Our BH had to send out a reminder to parents to please let the teachers know when dropping off or picking up a child from the class.  Blows my mind to see some parents literally open the door so their child can walk inside and then close the door.  The afternoon pickup is as in-and-out as possible for some and of course you are not going to be happy when you are not putting forth an effort.  It is still the parents' job to raise a child and teachers cannot be expected to keep something like potty training consistent when parents do not communicate with the teachers about what is happening at home.  ::climbs off soapbox::[/quote]

Yea your post is so full of crap. I am well involved in my child's center. So much so I notice the teacher does not know how to spell "puzzle." I have told the license inspector the reuirements for checking on children at nap time. Referred the director to her own coporate office when I knew she was giving other parents promises she was not going to be able to keep. The children (not just my kid) in the room show me their toys, stickers, and books when I pick up and drop off.  You are trying to justify your McDonalds level care in your cheap little head. Truth of the matter is for best care a parent should be home until 3. You can make playdates, field trips, activities with other kids ...[b]but there is no benefit to group care before that age.[/b] [/quote]

Except socialization!  You cannot match that aspect at home - period.  http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/15/day-care-when-its-good-it-benefits-kids-up-to-30-years-later-and-moms-too/[/quote]
