I worked at a daycare before.There are some good daycares and there are some bad daycares. The one I worked at wasnt a good one. If some of the parents only knew what was going on they would take their kids out of there. I seen one teacher yell and scream at 2 year olds. They put the fear in them so they would behave and mind them. I seen toddlers running around with snotty noses and they didnt get their face wiped off until it was time for the parent to pick them up. I seen kids sharing the same sippie cup. (No wonder there are so many viruses in daycare.) I seen children being singled out by the teachers because the children werent dressed properly or they thought they were ugly. I seen teachers getting other children to hit other kids because the teacher did not like the kid. I heard teachers make bad comments about a childs looks. I seen mold all around the top of sippie cups and they were not washed properly. I seen children fighting on the playground and the teacher let them fight because she was too busy talking on her cell phone. Then when the child comes to tell the teacher what happened and the child is crying the teacher verbally abuses the child and tells the child sit down and be quiet. I seen toddlers running around with their pants wet because the teacher didnt change their diaper. It went through the diaper and onto the clothing. I seen food dropped on  the floor at lunch time and the kids picking it up and eating it anyway because the teacher didnt pick it up and throw it in the garbage. I have heard teachers actully yelling and screaming at the children and the children are crying for their mommys. My child was one of these kids and my child will NEVER go back to daycare. If only the parents knew. Some of these kids are too young to talk, so I am telling you myself. I hope you really investigate the daycare that your child is attending. Did you know your child is being made fun of because of the way he/she is dressed? Did you know your child walks around all day with snot on his/her face until it is time for you pick him/her up? Did you know that if your child is not liked by the teachers they will get other children to hit on your child? Did you know that your child is being verbally abused by the teachers if they dont mind? Did you know that your child is eating food off of the floor? Did you know that your child is drinking after other children? Did you know that your child is being talked about by other teachers because they dont like his/her looks and they mistreat your child because of it? Not all daycares are like this, but this one is. I know, I worked there. I dont work there anymore. But if only these kids can tell you themselves what happens in "some" daycare centers. I was a good teacher. I took up for the kids who got picked on by these adults. But I had to quit because I couldnt tolerate the adults behavior anymore and  I couldnt tolerate these things happening to my child and others.A little advice, when your child tells you a story about daycare, listen carefully. They could be making up a story, but there is a little bit of "truth" in each sentence. I wish I would have listened to my child when she was telling me her story. Now I know what she was talking about. My child was verbally abused and scared to death in daycare by her teacher. When I seen it for myself, I knew then, what my child was talking about.
