But other than that, I have no complaints! We love our daycare. Even for the infants they provide food, they do great activities, no TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369881 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 15:36:15 +0000 Corduroy 2369881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I knew more about what LO does during the day since LO doesn't tell me. I should probably ask more questions. Other than that it's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369791 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:57:35 +0000 JennyG 2369791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is at an in home daycare. I wish they did more arts and crafts type things. I know she has a huge age range (6 months to 4 years old), but even some coloring once in a while would be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369775 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:41:02 +0000 pregnantbee 2369775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish they would include food in the cost of tuition, which is $$$ in my opinion.</p> <p>If I could pick one more thing, I'd also want them to be open later and close less frequently for holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369771 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:39:11 +0000 Mrs Spoon 2369771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The food. They feed more sugar than I would/do. But we still love our daycare. </p> <p>@lulu mom I went to an in home daycare where the owner would watch soaps during the day. Looking back I am appalled since I feel they should be watching the kids. I would not be ok if my daycare provider for DD (also in home) had a tv on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369747 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:23:32 +0000 gingerbebe 2369747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: My MIL and her sister run a daycare center and they actually DO have a separately staffed sick room (they try to be competitive by letting slightly sick kids come and stay in the sick room) but it sort of miserable for everyone because inevitably everyone gets sick. Its sort of this death cycle because parents will always drop off a sick kid since they assume they will go into the sick room, but its not like some biohazard chamber, so in the winter everyone is just constantly sick (including my MIL and the other teachers!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369738 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:20:29 +0000 mauxie 2369738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Digital pics! One of the center teachers does this for DS (we take flash drive back and forth), but regularly emailed pics of both kids would be nice (they print out lots of photos on regular paper for all families).</p> <p>Overall we are happy with the curriculum enrichment activities, teachers, turnover, cost, meals, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369732 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:13:19 +0000 Modern Daisy 2369732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wish they had a sick room with a doctor or nurse on staff so I didn't have to come get him every time he has a slight fever. Seriously I get a call at least once a week in the winter and he is home more than 50% of the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369706 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:54:52 +0000 mamabolt 2369706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love if they provided healthy meals and snacks so we didn't have to pack them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369700 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:50:53 +0000 psw27 2369700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cost + lack of stroller storage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369698 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:49:42 +0000 nana87 2369698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Oh good one on food!

It gets harder on LO as she gets older, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369681 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:40:15 +0000 ShootingStar 2369681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The playground.

Turnover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369676 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:36:44 +0000 futuremama 2369676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The transitions to different rooms. When they're younger, it's every six months and can lead to a rough week or two while she gets settled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369668 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:32:04 +0000 Truth Bombs 2369668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teacher turnover. We love the center, the director, the enrichment programs, and honestly the large majority of teachers we've had really have been awesome but I wish turnover was less frequent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2369667 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:31:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2369667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cost - wish it was cheaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-what-would-it-be-about-daycare#post-2358691 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:30:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 2358691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me I would change the amount of screen time they get. My girls are at an in home so they are around the TV more than kids in a center. It's not a deal breaker because my kids (and I) LOVE our lady so much, but if i didn't it might cause me to consider other places. What is your complaint? </p>
