[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't believe they left that toddler in the high chair for two hours! That is child abuse.[/quote]

Yes my child is in that class and I know this situation because I spent lots of time in that class what I observed was a "busy" toddler who did nothing but bite in that classroom, the teachers did all they could do they shadow him made him their special friend etc.. from what I observed the days I was there he bit at least 4 times a day so the teacher in the class placed him in the high chair with crayons and paper and different activities, although the child in a high chair sounds bad the child was not in any danger nor upset. The only thing wrong in this situation is that the owner should have terminated that family after the first bite![/quote]

I'm a PP and my kid was in that classroom, too. She was bitten several times by that kid. I'm totally with you that the owner should have dealt with this long before she did. According to the inspection reports that kid bit others 18 times (!) I didn't spend time in the room like you so I didn't realize they had given him things to do in the high chair. IMO, keeping him in there for an extended period of time was not the way to handle the situation. I totally understand why his parents got upset about that. He needed to be expelled if his parents couldn't stop the biting.

Also, I liked Discovery Time and I like the owner. I felt sorry for her because right after she opened the place a relative got ill and she was the primary caregiver. So it's conceivable that much of this happened because she physically just couldn't be around as much as she needed to be. As someone who's also been responsible for caring for an elderly relative, I have tremendous sympathy for her situation. Problem is, you're paying a premium to put your kid there ($1600+ monthly in toddler room) and for that kind of money, you don't expect these kinds of issues.

I do hope all of this gets resolved and the daycare is a success. [/quote]
