    Personally, I am of the mindset that if you don't do something when you see an injustice, then you are a part of that injustice too...that being said I would want to make sure I have my facts straight, but honestly would it really hurt for someone to go over there and have a look? For the sake of the kids? If something bad happened, how would you feel knowing you could have prevented it? Just my two cents...

    thats really how i feel. I would have to outright ask the people contacting me who the provider is in orde to see for myself because i dont know her. its just odd to get so many calls with the same story. clearly lots of her clients are looking to move. one parent i spoke to said that during their interview the providers spun the story to say that there would never be more than 5 kids but they had more than 5 clients but with part timers and b/a schoolers and drop ins etc that the schedule just worked out but thats not the way it has played out. one arent i spoke to has mentioned it to the providre several times but it is just brushed off and nothing is done.

    I had a child who came to me from an over-ratio daycare as well...BUT, I would not and did not report that provider because this is second hand knowledge. I do not know who the provider is...have never met her or seen her out in the neighbourhood. I cannot be sure that what the parent told me is the truth although I believed what she said. For me, unless I know for sure first-hand that this is happening and that kids are at risk, I would not report. I would just let the parent know that if they are concerned for the safety of the kids in that daycare and they believe she is over-ratio, then they should report her. They are the ones with the first-hand knowledge.

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.
