I have to admit I am paranoid of parks...we have a beautiful neighborhood one just down the street that I rarely use. It's just I don't feel comfortable if I can't see all my little ones every second...as someone said, they do spread out & unless I go at 8-9am (which is when I do on the rare times I go) it's busy. As for actually socializing with other providers, I just can't risk taking my eyes away from them. That's why I much prefer my big fenced in yard. I also like the suggestion to bring mention of 'Suzie's' incidents...then if no I improvement go next level (parent).
