"Tired and Overworked Daycare 'Teacher'"
4-Oct-07 |
I'm an assistant at a daycare where I
live, it's the daycare. I spent most of the day near tears
today because of my job
...the longer I work there the more I have become opposed to it. I will
never subject my children to pediatric prison.
It's a pity that working with children in a daycare environment has made me
so cynical. I feel as though it's sucked my youth away. I'm 25, imagine how
it makes an infant or toddler feel.

I currently work at a daycare, and I
hate it. ...I'm so glad I found this site!
...Daycares are horrible and no kid should be in one.
I think everyone needs to know the truth about daycare! Especially parents
who leave their kids there...

TRUE!!!!"

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this
site. I have been working in the daycare field for over 7 years now and have
personally witnessed almost every situation that you have listed on this
website.
...Don't even get me started on what I think about franchised childcare!!
The only thing that franchises are really good at is all of their marketing!
...you better believe that I will be staying home to raise my own children!

As a former day care "teacher" I can
tell you everything on your site is 100% accurate, and anyone who disagrees
has never worked in daycare or is in complete denial.
...Don't let the various names, labels, and marketing schemes used to fool
parents work on you. Day cares are all the same, soul-sucking child prisons.
Please put this on your website! I love getting the word out!!!! Keep
it up!

NSW, Australia, "Childcare worker -uni trained ECT", 11-Feb-08 |
I have been teaching 0-12 year old for
15 years, with 3 years permanent at childcare and preschools.
Amongst the many terrible sicknesses I endured all the time, and no one
could care less-kids were allowed to daycare very sick, including whooping
cough... Gastro bugs ALL the time, to name but a few.
...Many children I have observed 'cut themselves off emotionally' to cope
with the environment of institutionalisation, multiple children with poor
social skills, and many other serious things. There is no privacy at all,
and many will experience multiple carers.
Hormones released during mother/father-child/baby bonding are not developed,
and thus many of the children have poor cognitive, language and math skills
- we nickname them 'vegebrains'. They've literally cut their brain
functioning just to cope day-to-day.

I read this site and it is so true. I
worked at a daycare and the manager at the time used to have her toddler
granddaughter there and spent the majority of the time with her while
getting after other kids if they got too close to her "baby." It is true, I
could not love those children like I loved my own, but felt so sorry for
them.
I wish every parent could read this webpage.

"Have I Been Brainwashed Too?", 25-Feb-08 |
I am currently employed part time by a
local church's "Child Development Ministry" (referred to as the CDM by
employees).
When I stumbled upon this website, I was defensive at first but slowly
started to admit the truth.
I have been working at this center for less than 2 months, and I have yet to
work a full week because of illness.
Before working here, I hadn't taken or needed antibiotics or cold medicine
in over 5 years.
Since starting this job at the center...I have had severe diarrhea &
vomiting twice...I have had an ear infection and sinus infection, and I
currently have a bacterial infection in my blood that can not be identified
and is therefore virtually impossible to treat.
I also feel obligated to point out that this "not-for-profit, child-centered
ministry of the church" is not State-licensed and is not "legally" required
to follow state rules for ratios, etc....
