Clearly as the owner of this business I would like to comment on the above review. As the review states it is true that our child raising ideas were miles apart. With that being said I believe that his misconceptions of my care were extremely exaggerated. This, in my opinion is an example of a parent who was upset because I gave a termination notice. My only regret is that I should have done it much sooner because clearly we were not communicating on the same page. I am glad that he was able to find a new daycare and wish the family the best of luck. I have cared for numerous families over the years that typically stay with me until the kids no longer need care. I am more than happy to supply references.
Parents beware.
Here are the issues I have with this daycare…
The provider seemed as though she didn't want to be there, or didn't want us to be there. There was little to no "warmth" when we dropped off our children, and my kids were always outside, ready to get into my car when I picked them up. Doesn't seem like a problem, but I would like to know how my kids behaved that day. How is potty training going? Did they behave themselves? I seldom got a hand wave, if she was even outside with my kids, as it was often her husband standing with them.
We have a three year old who we are trying to potty train. In trying to discuss this issue with her, she made it seem like our responsibility to do all the work. As full time parents, she has our children from about 7AM to 4:30PM, and she needs to be on board with the potty training. We tell her that we use a "potty alarm" and try to encourage attempts about every hour. She wouldn't do it. No problem, what did she suggest? Nothing. Her excuse… She has to many kids, and can't take the time to help my daughter on the potty. I let her know that she usually goes poopy after her nap, and we have been encouraging her to sit on the potty after her nap. Nope, she can't time to do that, she has other children to tend to.
My youngest is very much an introvert, she is content with playing by herself, and very imaginative. While the provider has been in child care for many years, and has a more experience with children than I do, but she is not a psychiatrist, and shouldn't be telling me that my daughter is developmentally behind. Just because my child doesn't play with other children often, and likes to kick down stacked blocks, doesn't mean that there is something wrong with her. SHE IS THREE YEARS OLD!!! What three year old doesn't like to kick down a block tower after it is built?
She has grandchildren in her daycare, which is fine. She is loving and supportive to her family, but I NEVER felt as though my children got any of the same love and support from her. This is her job, I am paying for her to care for my children while I can't. We chose in home daycare for that reason; there is more love and emotional support than the typical daycare center. She claims she has a sickly parent (which may be true), and she dropped us because of that reason. I don't understand how my two children are any more of a hindrance to her. It's not like she can take her entire day care to her mother's doctor appointments, and what is two more children? But, what a coincidence, she has a daughter about to give birth, and with my kids gone, she can now accept an infant.
Bottom line, I felt as though every decision I made as parent wasn't supported by her. I'm not perfect, but I am open to suggestions. You have an idea about what I should do, offer advise. I felt as though I got no support. I felt as though my kids were dropped off, and as long as they were still alive and fed by the time I picked them up, then she did her job. And that is all she did.
Being dropped by her was a blessing in disguise.
