Bad Daycare

J., I just read this because I am looking at Daycares and wanted to know what happened. I was looking at Kindercare and this really concerns me. I live in York pa.
THanks

What area do you live in?

J.
If yu have a bad feeling you need to go with it. That why they say womens intuition. A girl I know had a very bad experience at daycare and should have known because there were signs in her son. Anyway I dont know where u live but there must be something.

Hi J.,
Where are you located? I happen to know of a great daycare that has openings for infants now.

J.,
I think you should bring this to the attention of the director. Have you considered a home daycare arrangement? I know this incident is very unsettling, but perhaps if you bring it to the attention of the director, something will be done about it. The only other thing I can suggest is asking family to help you out until an opening comes up at a different center.

I don't know about anyone else, but I would be very concerned for my childs safety. I would pull him out now. I know that you said you have to work everyday and that really is a challenging problem. I would try to get someone to watch him until you are able to get into another daycare. Try anything....realitives or trusted friends whom could take care of him while you are at work. Switching schedules (if possible). You childs safety is the most important thing.

Hi J., I do not know what your hours are but I would love to help you out. I have many ref. a back ground check and a clear police record you can look at. I have over 23 yrs. exp. in child care. I am the organizer of a moms play group and they will all tell you " when you see Manny just hand over the baby" LOL! Even if you would like to place him in my care until you get into a place that you are happy with that would be fine with me. I can send you any information you would like. I live in West York.

dear J., more than advice i was wondering where your daycare is. my husband and i just enrolled our daughter in kindercare and your mail really made me think about my decision.
thanks Y. h.

Have you discussed any of this with the daycare director? I understand the fear of anyone being able to get in; perhaps it's time for them to update the code! Maybe it just hasn't dawned on them. Do you feel that, other than this item, your son is well-cared for? Is there anything else giving you a bad feeling (weird diaper rash, dirty clothes, etc.)?

Hi J.. I think that I would bring my concerns up to the people at kindercare. I'm sure you're not the only person who is having this concern and possibly pulling the child out. I think it's only fair to bring it to their attention. Has your husband ever picked your sun up before? Did he go with you to visit the day care? It's possible that the teacher is the same one who saw you (or in this case, your husband)when you were in previously and recognized him. I would be sure to NEVER ignore your gut instinct, but also I would not be afraid to ask questions either. They'll understand your concerns, and if they don't, I would pull the child out for sure.

Hi J.,

My daughter also goes to Kindercare and yes, in this particular day care also if a parent knows the code he can get in. I have never felt uncomfortable with that but then this is not our first day care and my child is much older than yours. But I have to say this is a pretty good day care compared to others I have seen, much more accomodating of a child's needs than our previous one and truly are a learning center where they try to teach the kid new things (not applicable for a very young baby). Ofcourse they are also probably the most expensive one too and always have a very long waiting list. That doesnot mean that you don't have to talk to the caregiver constantly to make sure your child is being well taken care of.
