My Daycare Experience, from the
Unfolding Moments blog, comment by Shelby, 30-Jun-06 |
One thing that I learned while my mom
and sister worked at a Christian day care is that they often aren't much
different than a secular one! The children were still set down to watch "101
Dalmatians", few of the teachers even did devotions with the children, and
on top of the "normal" day care issues there are the "church politics".
(For instance, there) was one little girl there who was beyond naughty; kicking, screaming,
biting (the other children and the teachers!). the other children were
literally terrified of her (one poor little girl to the point of actually
wetting herself) but the teachers were told not to be too tough on her
because her grandfather was a "big wig" and major financial contributor to
the church. There were also never enough teachers to go around.

I have also come to the conclusion that
I will never ever send my children to daycare. After working at 2 different
daycares who have entirely different ways of running things, 1 thing is
present no matter what...that the children are neglected, yelled at for no
reason....

Joys of working with Children?

The little germ-infested
monsters got me super sick....
All these daycares I work at are all fancy-shmancy, accredited this, awards
in that, and 50% absent kids all the time because they are always getting
sick.

I was a daycare worker...and it haunts
me to this day. I tear up just thinking back on it. I remember trying to
find a "good" daycare to work for. They would hire you on the spot with
practically no info. about you. When I became so sickened by what I saw, I
quit and went to another daycare, a bigger, better looking one. (8 times)
When our first child was born, I knew one thing for certain. Even though we
had very little money, my babies would NEVER go to a daycare.

I recently have been employed by a
daycare. Upon my arrival, I noticed certain things that should not be
happening...
...I feel like something should be done. I you have any advice...I would
greatly appreciate it...

Wow! Your website is right on! I worked
in a child care facility...I am ashamed to say I did.
...myself and the other providers couldn't possibly meet their needs.
...Now I have two very small children and I couldn't bear the thought of
putting them in childcare.
Thank you for your website.

I can not tell you how long I've felt
the same way about day cares. I was a day care teacher for 3 years.
...I could go on forever about the sadness in these children in missing
their parents who had dropped them off. I was heartbroken every single day.

...I
was a childcare teacher at many childcare centers. As soon as I found out
(I was pregnant with my daughter), I knew I would never put her in daycare. I had
seen too much.
...Many people that I have talked to about daycare think that I am
exaggerating when I tell them about these things. This site is proof that I
am not the only (one).
