I am one of the rare people who actually
had a BS in Early Childhood Development when I worked in Day care. I started
at a University daycare while in college and after graduation moved on to a
State Accredited day care. I realized soon after graduation that all my
classes brainwashed me. I was fed how wonderful day cares were day-in and
day-out for 4 years.
I worked only 4 hours at a time while
in school so I didn't see the REAL side of day care. Upon graduation I got
my own "classroom" of 11 kids. I was supposed to prepare lesson plans for
2-year-olds -- how absurd.
I tried my best
to treat the children like I would want mine treated but it wasn't the same.
I was depressed at my inability to make a difference...
The directors of the
center cared only about appearances and money. We were lucky when we got
breaks.
When I got pregnant I stayed until I
had my daughter and then sent them a resignation letter while on maternity
leave. It would have cost me money to work there and have my child with me
(my employee discount was $10.) I wouldn't be able to see my child during
the day to nurse because "it could disrupt her routine." I have never looked
back. I have been against day-cares ever since.

I am a daycare worker and I have seen
and heard some of the most disgusting things ever!
Being in daycare for three years and worked for two centers, I have come to
this assumption; "They are all the same....MONEY!!!!"
Some kids are singled out, labeled, and talked about... (clothes, hair,
parents...etc.)
Some workers are there for just a paycheck and not caring about the kids at
all.
If only the parents could be a fly on the wall at some centers and see
what goes on they would be very upset.

I used to work in a few different
daycares, changing mostly because I didn't like the practices... I actually
got my degree in early (childhood) education.
Now, being a stay-at-home mom of 3 kids I realized ahead of time I could
never drop my kids off to those places just to see them get treated like a
number instead of an individual...
...Thanks for a great, truthful website.

Hi I am an in home day care provider.
I totally agree with you......
Before I had my daughter I loved kids who weren't mine, but now that I am a
mother it's changed and I agree with you...
...Anyway, I agree with your site and wanted you to know as a provider I am
phasing out of this 'business'. It truly is an empire. It needs to end!
