That woman has no business taking care of children. NONE. The one-nap thing is ludicrous. <br /><br />You'll find a place that fits. I know you will.

It sounds extremely stressful and I hope things let up soon.<br /><br />I'm so glad your boss understood and let you get Ruby out of there. That woman has no business running a daycare if that's how she handles the first week. I don't know if this is any consolation, but when I was high school and college I worked at a daycare center and it was the RARE child who began daycare and didn't have a difficult adjustment. Their whole worlds have just turned upside down, of course they're going to have difficulty. And, yes, it's disruptive to the rest of the class, but professionals who actually love children understand that and they work to help the baby make a smooth adjustment. So this problem wasn't you or Ruby...it was M. She's horrendous and I'm glad you guys are through with her. <br /><br />I know that doesn't help you with finding a new center, but don't doubt yourself. When you interview new places, tell the provider about your experience and ask them how they would handle it. Most of these professionals are not like M - I think you just had bad luck.<br /><br />Okay...sorry to be all preachy. Good luck with your search!

I have been thinking about you both all week, esp when I dropped off and picked up from daycare b/c Z seems finally adjusted and doesn't cry when I leave and is now getting where he is not in a big rush to go home either. His teachers took the time with him to get used to and it is so much easier on me now knowing that he is ok. You will find the right place for Ruby so that you can be reassured also. It will just take some time for her to get used to it and you need a provider who is willing to go with that. If my poor kid had to go until 11:30 for a nap, he'd have a complete meltdown. He often doesn't even make it until 10 am. You now know a lot more questions about what to ask and what to expect when looking for a new provider.Mommy Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625055463883932900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-44186752012109777062009-12-17T18:21:08.415-08:002009-12-17T18:21:08.415-08:00Glad Ruby's out and you have options for the t...Glad Ruby's out and you have options for the time being. The Day Home lady is a bitch, and her lack in professionalism is horrible. With her background and experience she would know that it can take up to 6 months for a baby to adjust and get over separation anxiety.<br /><br />I would put your name on lists for as many places as you can, and interview as many as them as you see fit until you find the right one that does work for both Mom and baby. <br /><br />Go with your gut, you'll know. <br /><br /><br />Thinking of you-- good luck.Just Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087586602202480628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-69965965865873364582009-12-17T17:40:53.000-08:002009-12-17T17:40:53.000-08:00Do you have any friends that need daycare or have ...Do you have any friends that need daycare or have a nanny?<br /><br />Friends of mine have done Nanny sharing. It's more cost effective and the kids get to stay in a familiar environment. It would also give me a sense of having more control over what is going on. They follow your baby's schedule... not the center's. <br /><br />Something to consider.<br /><br />Good luck, I'm so sorry for your frustration!JustAnotherJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238995496148769524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-48905120030048809862009-12-17T15:23:23.531-08:002009-12-17T15:23:23.531-08:00That is so good you got her out of there!

At my son's day care at 15 months they move them to a "little" toddlers room for 15 - 24 month olds. At that point they start taking one 2 hour nap. At one they start to prepare them for the 1 nap a day, but to expect a kid to just cold turkey to her schedule is rediculous. <br /><br />You will find a good place, I'm sure of it!Somewhat Ordinaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701338805685025735noreply@blogger.com
