My oldest only gets a calendar with a smiley face or a frowny face to show how she was that day. I definitely prefer the written report autumnlove on "Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-verbal-or-written-rundown-of-how-your-lo-did-each-day#post-1968830 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 10:03:02 +0000 autumnlove 1968830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually written for LO 2 and usually verbal for LO 1. I will ask questions if I need more info.

I miss the written but not enough to request it again! littlebug on "Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-verbal-or-written-rundown-of-how-your-lo-did-each-day#post-1968765 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 09:23:04 +0000 littlebug 1968765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We get a full written report. It looks like the write up the general structure of the day (activities they did as a class, the theme for the week, and the meals for the day) and make photocopies of that. But then for each child they write specific things. So they'll write on D's how much he ate of what parts of his meal, how long he napped, and his diapers. Then they also add a personal note, like yesterday's said, "D really enjoyed playing with the dinosaurs with J and E!" @mediagirl: Yeah, according to them, D always has a "great day." Do they have magic great day fairy dust? Because c'mon. Toddlers. mediagirl on "Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-verbal-or-written-rundown-of-how-your-lo-did-each-day#post-1968749 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 09:15:43 +0000 mediagirl 1968749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We get "she had a great day" every single day. One kid cannot have a great day every day. The new school she will be going to has daily notes and a door chart that the teacher writes general class things on daily.

Also nap time and lunch smileys are up there too for each child. There used to be one for diaper changes but that's gone since they restructured. mrbee on "Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-verbal-or-written-rundown-of-how-your-lo-did-each-day#post-1968697 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 08:27:37 +0000 mrbee 1968697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Andrea: It's that way with our daughter too - no need for regular updates! Tougher with our son who struggles more with behavior...

It breaks out like 6 sections they worked on and what exactly they did - tells me if DD napped - tells me how much lunch both kids ate and then includes a special note about each kid such as "DS loved reading the book about spaceships - he said one day he wants to fly to space!" Now that DS is in K for 1/2 day I get nothing from her. During our teacher conference I told her it was driving me crazy not knowing what he does everyday - she agreed that its a very hard transition for parents! blackbird on "Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-verbal-or-written-rundown-of-how-your-lo-did-each-day#post-1968653 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 07:06:12 +0000 blackbird 1968653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just a quick "she had a good/bad day" which is fine for me. if something is out of the ordinary, she'll give more details but otherwise, I am fine with good/bad. It comes secondhand through DH, anyways.

(She's in pre-k) This is why they have parent teacher conferences and I can call her teacher if I have any concerns.

I don't know much besides what he ate for lunch most days.

Honestly, getting anything at all is a huge improvement over the last daycare!

It can be a little difficult to decipher sometimes because it is written in the first person plural.... but inconsistently..... so we get sentences like "we put my coat on and went outside". You're never quite sure who did what! But its lovely all the same! daniellemybelle on "Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-verbal-or-written-rundown-of-how-your-lo-did-each-day#post-1968595 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:31:33 +0000 daniellemybelle 1968595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @yoursilverlining: that's fancy! We get a very simple written rundown - bottles, lunch/snacks, diapers, naps, one sentence about her day. I usually ask how her day was and they will always say it was a good day, but they might mention something about her nap, or she loved a certain activity, or said a certain word. yoursilverlining on "Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-verbal-or-written-rundown-of-how-your-lo-did-each-day#post-1968571 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 23:30:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 1968571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Written, verbal and an email with pictures, description of at least one of the day's activities and rundown of lunch and snack.

It is the same almost every day: two poops, ate a lot, napped 2 hours. I wish I knew more about what activities they do each day so I could talk to LO about it. She says "yes" to everything I ask her. mrbee on "Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-verbal-or-written-rundown-of-how-your-lo-did-each-day#post-1968553 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 23:02:38 +0000 mrbee 1968553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Back when our kids were both in the same daycare, we got a written rundown of our kids' days! It was fantastic - and if we had any questions, they took the time to talk through things with us. At our daughter's preschool, they give a quick verbal rundown of how the day went (if she ate well, if she napped, if she did anything particularly different that day) and that's it. I have to say, I prefer the written rundown! But totally understand that it takes the teachers more time to pull that together... Our son is in Kindergarten now, and the only rundown we get is from our son (who leaves out important details). I try to pick him up directly from school now and then (as opposed to from his afterschool program in the evening), so that I can hear some details directly from his teacher on how things are going. I chatted with his teacher today, and she mentioned that he's been talking in class recently - so that's something we can focus on in the coming weeks (not talking or interrupting). Do you get a verbal or written rundown of how your LO did each day?
