Slander is free to any idiot who wants to use it!!!!!! Why do people do this? I guess the only thing you can do is get your butt out there and prove to as many people as possible that you are none of those things by doing your job well and spreading a positive opinion of yourself by the good job you do. I was attacked by a few crappy parents when I started, almost closed my daycare after the first few monthes. (obviously had poor judgement choosing parents) (still do sometimes) But I didnt and for the most part, an glad I chose to stay open, it is a good job and have had MANY happy parents since then. Just ignore the crap!!!! I know its not easy but people will say things no matter what, just give them something good to talk about.
