I look back to when my daughter was young. I was able to stay home with her the first 2 years. After that she was in a public preschool. She loved it, and I felt that she was well looked after. I am grateful that nothing ever happened to my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI hope when my daughter has children, I will be old enough to retire so I can take care of my grand kids. It's really the only way to ensure your children's safety.
I work at a Chritsian daycare and the childrens safety is our biggest concern. I love my job and being able to care for and love on the kids is such a joy. It is very sad to think that there are daycares out there where the children are not their main concern.
ReplyDeleteIt sad to know that a lot of daycares are not safe for ur child anymore I feel that staffs that work at daycares should get more training like take a CPR class and EDU classes as well children r a lot o f work but safety and know how to workworking with children is the key to running a good daycare
