    Wow ... ok I will admit that 'poo' or stale kid pee smell is something I am very sensitive to smell ~ I do not even keep the diapers IN my house the minute I change the diapers they get put in a plastic bag and once they are all changed it gets tied up and thrown outside in a bin which at the end of the day is transferred to the outside garbage pail

    Once again this is one of those times I wish more people would ask before they speak 'is what I am about to say helpful or hurtful statement' because honestly what was the 'motive' behind sharing that with you ... what did she expect you to say or do with that?

    If she had said something like 'Hey Adelaide I just wanted to let you know I am a wee bit concerned because it ALWAYS seems to smell like poo in the house and while I get that sometimes it will cause the kids have just pooed and it takes a minute for that to diffuse it really seems to already smell like that even in the morning and well I was wondering if you needed a new Diaper genie cause I have a spare maybe that would help' cause a statement like THAT would still be RUDE but at least it would have been in helpful manner ~ aka she was offering a solution at least instead of just being down right rude and unhelpful?

    But seriously we work with young children who are often not trained so of course sometimes our house smells like POO ... if a child has JUST pooed no amount of candle or Scentsy ( which BTW I love myself) is going to immediately diffuse that
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    I too don't keep diapers (not even my daughters) in the house! They go into a extra green 'food' bin that has a garbage bag inside which is in the garage! Not fun changing that bag when it's full poor DH!!

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
