This Bailey deserves one star.
Here’s a small list to name a few red flags I should’ve immediately noticed and made the daycare know I was serious (because I told them but they still didn’t fix a single issue) about going to the state if conditions weren’t better for my/our children :
- Children not being fed nutritious meals
- Activities or materials not appropriate for the ages of children in care
- Staff responsible for too many children
- Unusually high staff turnover
- Children being left in classrooms without an adult present or wandering into classrooms
- Children being picked up with full diapers and food on their face marks on their arms, bruises on her legs and no incident reports
