Today, in order to be able to stay at
home, I do, sadly, provide child care services from my home, but we are
small, and unlicensed (within state regulations).
Thank you for putting this information on the web. I hope
more people see it and realize that Daycare is no substitute for Mom, and as
a society, we will reap what we have sown.

"...I want to commend you on your great
website! I have a 2-1/2 year-old son who has and will never see the
inside of a daycare if it kills me. I used to work in a daycare
facility - it was a private Christian facility. It is simply a
child
farm. The children are depressed, sick, lonely, and mistreated.
I quit because I witnessed the director grab a 3-year-old by her arm and
literally throw the child into the corner.
...Thanks for speaking out for the stay-at-home parents who do whatever they
can to keep their kids safe.
I can't count the children who stood at
the door and cried and screamed for their mommy to come and rescue them."

"...I'm a daycare asst. director...
...All centers go through changes from time to time. Heck just last
month we had to replace BOTH our toddler (12-24 months) teachers. I
couldn't get one of them to come to work (like everyday) and the other quit
to take a higher paying job. I was very upset about this since it
meant our kids would have to get 2 new staff members.
...We do not believe it is good for children especially younger ones to have
too many caregivers. We employ our teachers full-time. Some
centers only employ "teachers" the ones with degrees
part-time because you have to pay them more.
...I also know if numbers go down they will move kids from one room to
another to save on staff.
...Most parents don't realize all the changes going on in a center...because
they're simply not there."

A: Kelly, I think this is pretty normal
for a daycare center.
Q: I recently moved to a new area and started working at a daycare where I
can bring my youngest daughter with me. I thought it would be wonderful to
work with the little kids, earn a little money, and still breastfeed my
daughter. Well, it's not that great. The other employees are horrible. They
are down right mean to the kids. They don't abuse them or hurt them but the
kids spend most of the days crying and miserable. They let the little ones
cry and cry and never just hold them for comfort...only for a bottle.
So I guess my question to you is, is this routine daycare? |

"...for-profit, institutional daycares
can be very cold and impersonal. Profits often come before the
well-being of the providers and children. Rote learning is pushed way
too early in order to impress investors and parents."
