Today I took her to the local Childcare Center for a half day trial. This is where she will be going twice a week when I return to work, in 7 weeks time... (dread yuck blah).... I am blown away by the difference in standards and equipment, toys, books and routine.
I stayed and observed the staff and the room today for three hours while Sara played.
Afterwards I had to send the following email to the Manager Jenny:
But then again, I don't want to have to suffer the consequences of a child that's been handled roughly or a child that's constantly getting sick from being in childcare either!
If this is going to be acceptable behaviour to her then Sara will not be attending this centre at all.
What are your thoughts on and experiences with Childcare?
Did you get a response?
ReplyDeleteI think it is really important you get a feel good vibe the moment you walk in the door. If not I'd be inclined to run a mile!
Thankfully YES I did get a response and a very reasonable one at that. I had over reacted - being so anxious about leaving her I freaked out at little things.
