I have worked in several daycarees and I will say that none of them were like this one you described but they are certainly not the best setting. Some are better then others and there seems to be at least one teacher that is not good withthe children. I have chosen to be a stay at home mom mainlybecause this is what I feel compelled to do, it is my desire and there just isn't any other option for me but I will say that I would choose a private sitter, some one I knew well over a daycare center and I definetly would never send a baby to daycare. I think a child should be able to communicate and talk, play and be able to share what they did in daycare, a parent can learn a lot just through a child's play. An infant cannot speak or play out anything, they have no voice whatsoever. Only one daycare that I worked in had a bell that had to be rung before entering the buiding, other then that, most daycares are open door, any one can walk ina t any point of the day. certainly many things to look at when thinking about daycare. I personally have chosen not to use daycare, just not something I have a desire to do. Good parents will do their homework before placing their kids in a center and they will feel free to pop in as needed, as they desire to, that is one way a paretn can find out what really goes on in a center, pop in unexpected, unnanounced and go from there.....As far as this center discussed here, have they been reported to the state, and what is their track record as far as the state goes?
