For the kid being violent, they have a plan in place and are also seeking outside help. I guess from the state?!? Then if these steps don't help, she said they are going to ask the family to remove the child from the program.
Security, they are activity looking for a security system. As far as the back stairs, the door to the outside is locked. However, I still expressed my concern about children wandering out into the hall by themselves. She stated that the doors have been open b/c the building is old and the heating is located in that room so it gets very hot. We suggested that instead of opening the doors to the hall that they open the doors that lead into the 2 year old room. She liked that idea, so we'll see if they put it into place.
DH and I briefly talked afterwards. We're going to give it about a month or so but I've still contacted another center. We live near the capital of our state so there are tons of centers. It's just finding one that's at a convient location that is in our price range.View Thread

1) Turnover has been CRAZY!! Since DD#2 was born, DD has had 3 new teachers. That's only 4 short months!! I know daycares have high turnover but this seems rediculous to me. Plus I found out yesterday 2 more teachers gave their notice.
2) DD has been getting very red/sore in her privates. We took her to the pedi to make sure it wasn't an infection. It wasn't but she told us it was due to not wiping properly...she is only 3. Prior to this I asked her teachers to try to help her or even wipe for her. I find out yesterday from another teacher who I trust, that one of DD's teacher's complained about our request. Saying she doesn't get paid enough to wipe butts. HELLO!?! You're a teacher of preschoolers, they still need help!!
3) DD has peed her pants 3 times this week. She's been potty trained since July and hasn't had this many accidents since July let alone in a week. We think this might be b/c of the new teachers and that either they don't take her often enough or she doesn't trust them to tell them she has to go.
4) Both DD and another parent that I know told me that a kid in the class hits/kicks/chokes on a regular basis. The other parent even said something to the director but nothing has been done. I've noticed that DD's anger has gotten worse and I think it might be from this kid. When she gets mad, she hits the follow and screams. She's never done this before.
5) Security. The center is part of a church on the second/third floors. For over a year they've talked about installing a security system but still hasn't happened. There are stairs next to the bathrooms and I found out that the kids go to the bathroom alone with the teacher standing between the room and the bathroom. However, I've seen them get distracted and not keep an eye on the kid in the bathroom. Who's saying no one is coming up those stairs or that the kid wouldn't just walk out?!? Also with security, there have been days when I pick up DD and there is a stranger in the room that I've never seen or met before. Turns out it's a new teacher but there's no one there to tell me who this person is or if they are legit.
So what do you guys think?View Thread





So all of my friends with children the same age as DD or either SAHM or have a relative watch their kid while they work, meaning you guys are my only hope for some help!
First, let me say I tried the 3 day potty training camp and it failed for us. So that's not an option to try that.
Ok here goes. In the evenings we've started putting DD in underwear every night. A few times during the evening she'll make a mad dash to the bathroom saying she has to go but won't sit very long on the potty. Then a few minutes later she'll go in her pants. We can't force her to sit there, can we? However, when she's in diapers she'll hardly do this except for BMs. At daycare she's been in diapers 100% of the time and I think she's getting confused that she can go in her pants during the day but at night we are expecting her to try the potty.
So my issue is, do I just start sending her in underwear with a ton of clothes or do I wait until she starts going in the potty at home. I figure the more she's in underwear she'll get it b/c she's actually feeling wet. Those darn diapers/pull-ups she doesn't really even notice.
Any advice would be appreciated!View Thread
