Excuse me but your child was happy all day long and why are you making daycare sound like purgatory? The child is fussing about leaving with YOU not about staying here with me. I just smile but it irks me.

    Then another parent is like "If you don't get ready right now then I am going to leave you here." Once again....this parent makes daycare sound like a punishment.

    And parents wonder why their kids fuss at drop off.
    I would have totally said something.....not in a nasty way but in a very upfront way like, "Wow wouldn't that be lots more fun" lol frickin idiot people

    Every time she says "Don't worry - I'm not leaving you here" I feel like saying something.

    Like - what the heck is that supposed to mean? If daycare and a staying with me is so horrible then why did you choose this daycare?

    Ugh. And the baby is crying about getting dressed to leave - not about staying.

    It infuriates me each time I hear it . I smile but inwardly I am seething. It's a total Unikitty moment (if you've seen the lego movie that reference will make sense.) lol

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.
