So a previous post got me thinking what do you think is more important, that a child is happy coming to daycare or is happy and not wanting to lave daycare.
Another provider and i were having this discussion and I am interested in your thoughts:)

It's Friday and I'm exhausted.....but, isn't that basically the same thing? Lol :)
If you meant it was a child coming happy but excited to go home versus an unhappy child coming and then not wanting to leave, I'd choose the latter. It shows that they do actually like it here and were just putting on a show! The first scenario would maybe have the parent think something bad happened if the child can't wait to run out the door at day's end? Lol
Thanks that's exactly what i meant. I think it's great if a child is both, but I really love when a childs parents come to the door and they want their parent to stay and play longer, or show them every thing they did.Quote:

If children find the day care center safe, entertaining and fun then they are happy coming to daycare.
