i have recently taken my children out of one daycare, and switched to another. why do you wonder? because some people are in it for "just" the money! my oldest child is 3.5 years old, and has been potty trained since 2 years old. all of a sudden he hated going to "sandras" house. screamed everymorning and every night when i picked him up. at first i thought that he just wanted to stay at home with me, stupidity on my part thats for sure. then he started saying things like "she puts me in the corner and yells all the time. she says bad words to me mom." thats not cool. when "sandra" was questioned about it. well why ofcourse not!!! this is a fun and educational place. ya right. then he started comming home just a little "off" i don't really know how to explain it, just not himself. it took us a whole week to bring out what was going on. she was apparently putting him in diapers and in a highchair. OMG! hes 3.5. i don't think so. the next day that i went to go and pick him up, i questioned her about this, and she said that he had peed on a bunch of toys. Now i will be the first to admit that my son is NOT perfect. he's a typical three year old that is full of mistchief. what kid isn't. making a long story short, sorry guys. i may seem like a bad mom, for taking him there, but i HAD to work. i was on my own at the time, and had to put food on the table. trust me i was looking for another daycare. i went to pick him up the last time and he had supposedly peed on more toys. i could tell that he had been lectured all day, and he was miserable. when asked if he did it he said no. just like the last time. and he stuck to his story. still does. in telling "sandra" that he has had enough of the lecture and i would handle it at home, with plenty of ppl watching. she went off the deepend. following me out to the car screaming and yelling telling me how much of a bad mom i am, how i don't care about my children, ( have an 8 month old too) and how horrible of a person i was. when the accusations got turned around on her she went absolutely nutz!! this is just a little story to let people know that becareful of daycares. trust what your kids say. i didn't for the first little while, and feel horrible that i never trusted him in the beginning. thank god that the Magical Memories Learning Center had spots for my kids. they are absolutely the best daycare we have had yet. the kids love going there and all the people that work there. THANK YOU
