And when I have to leave the room to go empty and clean the potty all hell breaks loose in the room (her older sister is quite sneaky and waits to do something mean once she thinks I'm not looking - which I'm not when I'm dealing with the potty). Yes, it is a lot of effort for a family leaving.
I personally would not put in the effort for a child under 2 yrs old unless they were clearly ready but definitely not for a child who is expected to leave the program soon. I agree that the child shouldn't suffer for parents behaviour but in this case I don't think the child will suffer in any way. Besides it's up to the parents to get a good potty training start going at home before I would even consider assisting at daycare.
