[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC goes to a daycare that is generally regarded as good. I find it to be very lacking - maybe I'm expecting too much. For example, at drop off no teacher actually comes up to welcome my child - i[b]ts literally up to me to get DCs hands washed and get her seated at the breakfast table if that's where everyone is[/b]. I also find teachers often ignore a crying child or will not wipe runny noses and don't change diapers as frequently as I would like. I think if they were watched, they would be much more on the ball. I'm a FTM and not American so I think my standards for childcare are probably not what others around here consider acceptable. But I do think cameras would help keep lazy day care workers more on the ball.[/quote]

I don’t think you’re expecting too much. I find it weird that you both aren’t greeted and your child helped to settle in upon your arrival. I used to do that with every single child, even when I was overloaded.

I also can’t imagine the employees being able to ignore a crying child or not change them. Maybe I just can’t get another type of daycare experience through my head other than the place I worked at, and that place was a shithole. I just can’t picture someone being able to be lazy with multiple children in their care.

You should possibly find a new place for your child. That doesn’t sound right. [/quote]

I suspect that if you came in before literally the most hands-on part of the morning, they would be doing a lot more to help you. The have a group of toddlers to feed. You've fed your toddler -- it's not a 1:8 activity while the other person comes over to help someone new with his coat. If you guys got there before breakfast, he'd have been helped to wash his hands in line with the other kids.

I do think you're expecting too much.[/quote]
