[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shouldn't the daycare be staffed for the total number of enrolled kids? Do daycares assume a certain number of absences and staff down? [/quote] I think so. It's similar to the airlines that oversell seats, assuming at least a few people won't make the flight. [/quote] I got the impression daycares tended to staff up to ensure they meet ratios in case of a staff member calling in sick, to allow for vacation days, etc. At least that is how it seems at my DD's daycare. Can't say for sure whether the floaters get sent home if there are not enough kids, but it's not something I've observed and this daycare has low turnover at all levels of staff, including floaters/aides.[/quote] Then you're at a good daycare! A daycare that wants to pare staffing down to the bone - by setting a strict drop off cut off and then sending extra staff home when not needed to meet legal ratios - will see much higher turnover.[/quote]
