[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're having such frequent worries about this school, get out.  It's not the only school in the area.

Whether or not this would bother anonymous jerks in an online forum is irrelevant.  You're wary of this place.  Respect that and move on.[/quote]

I remember you from the other thread and I have the same advice now as then. Trust your instincts. For whatever reason, you are uncomfortable with this place. Doesn't matter if others think you are overreacting. You've got to develop the confidence as a mom to go with your gut. Your gut has been sounding warnings for months. 
Trust yourself. [/quote]

But how do I know that in other places its different? Pretty much everyone says I am just overreacting.
I have never seen anything truly malignant there
Once my kid had shoes on wrong feet after they changed him after an accident. Not a big deal, just weird, how would an adult not notice?

On medication- of course it is up to the parent, but I say if a kid tries and cries at that, time for a suppository...

Anyways, thanks everyone, I appreciate the perspective.

PP here. You don't know. Again, this is where instinct comes in. You have to ask yourself whether you're nitpicking because deep down you don't want your kid in daycare. Or is it a gut feeling that this particular place isn't a good fit.
Ask yourself what are your expectations of care. Visit some other centers to see if they are more in line with your expectations of care. 
If nothing measures up, then your quandary is a more fundamental one about the nature of care rather than a particular facility. But if you find a place you like better, for whatever reason, pursue it. 
In either case, complaining is pointless unless you act. Constantly pointing out daycare provider flaws and asking if they're worthy of concern indicates there is a problem...either with the center, which nearly everyone on this thread has suggested isn't the case, or with your perceptions of the center, which you are entitled to as a parent. 
Stop complaining. Get to the true root of the problem and fix it. [/quote]

Thank you PP, I think you are right, except there is no way of knowing such things by simply touring a facility. And changing daycares over this? Laughable.
As for the nature of care, part time nannies are hard to find and difficult to control, especially if she is working at her home (which would be preferable in my particular situation).
