I hate daycare

I hate daycares. I have yet to be in one that I feel actually cares for the children. They tend to smell bad, be dirty and have broken or old toys to play with. Heidi has been in daycare for over a year now. The first one she was kicked out of due to her behaviors, unfortunately those behaviors were one that the daycare taught her.

At first they were like she is sooo sweet we don’t want to make her behave and we feel sooooo sorry for her and what she has been going on that correcting her in any way makes us feel bad. But when she starts hurting other children they went to the other extreme and declared she was uncontrollable. Mind you we never had the level of problems they reported to us.

Well we got her in a new daycare and things were good for about 5 months then the behaviors started up again, granted it was after visitation with the bio father started again. But this place is out of control they no not have any routine or consistency. Heidi needs consistency more then anyone I have ever met. She needs academic stimulation and this place does not have any of that its kinda free for all, kids doing what they want when they want and the adults basically watching from the sideline.

I want to move her. I also want to keep her home, but her therapist want her in daycare for socialization because there is no one in our home or even in our neighborhood her age to interact with.

I just hate daycare and wish that I could find one that was wonderful. The ones that have been recommended to use are so expensive we can’t afford to have her there. That makes me feel bad.
