[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read all the posts on this thread.   But I just wanted to say, I *hate* that daycare providers are called "teachers".

They aren't teachers.   They are daycare providers.  There is a difference.   This is not a teacher situation, in an elementary school.   These people should not concern themselves with a child's constipation.   A daycare provider, however, should be concerned.

That is all.[/quote]

Did you read the post where someone said they are EDUCATORS and their job is teaching, not caring for crying kids (to paraphrase). EDUCATORS. I'd be curious to see these educators' CVs?

4 year olds do need hugs and loving, MORE than "education." (Then again, my bias is that most of us thrive most as human beings, not just human brains, in an environment that includes compassionate, empathetic, kind adults.)

OP, all care environments for 4 year olds are NOT like this and not every one will make you feel qualms. Look first and foremost for a place where the student:teacher ratio is such that if someone is having a hard day or an issue, there will be someone available who can give that child a little 1:1 time.[/quote]
