BabyCenter.com, Signs of a bad daycare
center, posted by Jamie, 24-Jul-2002 |
My son cried when we dropped him off,
but after 2 months of this crying, we couldn't take it anymore. The daycare
staff told us that he would stop crying shortly after we left, but it broke
my heart and it was very difficult for me to leave. I honestly did not
believe them. One day, my husband and I dropped him off, crying of course,
and we decided to stick around for a while. We were able to see (spy, more
like it) through the window, looking over the fence to see what he would do.
After a couple minutes, they left him alone and he stood looking out the
window wailing for at least 15 minutes. We just walked in again, picked him
up and never came back. |

Insights Into Childhood
by Fred Rogers with Hedda Sharapan
2003 |
A mother told us what it's been like for
her in the early days of her son's first day-care experience:
'On the long ride home, I find
myself picturing Jeffrey running up to me with a big bear hug,' she said.
'But when I get there (to his daycare), he's likely to act as if he
doesn't see me at all. Once he even ran to his teacher and
cried that he didn't want to go home.
A couple of times he's been rude and grumpy to me and won't get his coat on,
so I have to pick him up and take him out the door
by force. What a way for our evenings together to begin!'

"Hey listen. Any boob can run a
child-care center.
It takes a family to raise some children."
*Film
critic Roger Ebert gave this comedy film a low one-star rating.
However, after viewing this movie ourselves, we did find this one worthwhile
quote.

daycare kid from a mile away. They are in every adult's face saying 'Look at
ME!' because they don't get enough of it from their own parents".

"We have children dying in daycare
because these childcare facilities are overloaded and understaffed. Babies
lie in cribs all day, not getting the attention and stimulation they
desperately need at that age. Daycare owners get by with the cheapest (and
not necessarily most nutritious) food they can find to cut costs and pocket
more money. And on top of it all, where I live, most women working 30 hours
a week, "occasionally" sending their children to daycare, are doing nothing
more than funding daycare, with 90%+ of their check going to pay for
childcare".
