Whats your take? Terminate or stick through it?

I know! when I say spit i mean stick the tounge out and spit while making a sound. that to me still counts as spitting. she is so frustrating...

As I live in a smaller town it may take a while to find replacements but then again there are so many kids in my community....

What else can I do with her????? I feel so bad as they live across the street.... but I have to think of whats best for my kids. Any suggestions on coping with her behavior till I find a replacement?

Ya blowing a 'raspberry' AT someone specially in 'anger' is SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE and is not tolerated here either!

You will know when you reach your limit and that will be that little girl's last day. It won't do any harm to tell the parents you find her behaviour completely unnaceptable and she needs discipline and rules would it?

So what are the parents' responses when you bring up these issues? If you haven't yet, you MUST immediately. Give them a chance to fix the problems, but if they don't/can't/aren't willing, terminate.
Do you want the rest of the kids in they daycare picking up these habits? I am thinking no.... and it's not fair that they have to live in fear of being picked on or spit at (Yes, to me that is spitting "at" you, even if it's not a big loogie-spit).
Develop a specific action plan, as others have said. Include what the consequences of the behaviour will be and if mom/dad aren't on board, I say you need to be done!!!
