The fact that it was communicated to all the families speaks volumes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188547 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:28:01 +0000 LindsayInNY 1188547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto exactly what @blackbird: said!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188526 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:19:08 +0000 PrincessBaby 1188526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Woah! I'm glad they handled everything appropriately!</p> <p>Thanks so much, you guys! You have convinced me to stick with the plan and use them:). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188481 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:05:20 +0000 Alivoo01 1188481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd let it slide also. The center did all the right things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188478 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:03:06 +0000 purrpletulips 1188478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they took the incident seriously and handled it appropriately. Despite all the background checks in the world, a bad seed will occasionally get through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188437 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:46:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1188437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: this.</p> <p>Sounds like they handled it very professionally with no hesitation. That would make me feel even better about them and it sounds like you love everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188435 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:45:29 +0000 chrispygal 1188435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @blackbird. Honestly you do the best you can to find, hire and train the right people but sometimes people snap. It seems like they handled things really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188429 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:43:25 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1188429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely still consider it. They handled it better than I would have expected and that person is no longer there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188396 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:36:28 +0000 littlek 1188396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider it. It seems like they did a great job of handling the situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188394 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:36:22 +0000 deerylou 1188394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I commend the center on being quick to follow protocol, and wouldn't worry, if I were you. Lunatics can slip through the cracks *anywhere*, so there's no use in being weary of the center itself, especially since they handled everything perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188391 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:35:23 +0000 mediagirl 1188391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still go there. The incident has been cleared and the person involved has been dismissed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188379 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:34:01 +0000 autumnlove 1188379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider it! I'm glad they handled it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188369 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:32:41 +0000 MsLipGloss 1188369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with all the pps . . . I would let it *slide* because the center didn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188367 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:32:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 1188367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @blackbird. Sounds like they handled the situation promptly and with tranparency. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188347 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:27:09 +0000 Smurfette 1188347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto what Blackbird said. The way they handled it says volumes about them as a center. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188344 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:26:49 +0000 Bookish 1188344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'll give you an example from something that happened recently. A toddler was left outside at our daycare after some outside play time. It appears that the teachers were just very busy, and didn't count properly. The daycare director notified us immediately (as in, that day before 5pm), notified the licensing board, and has had two inspections since. </p> <p>As uncomfortable and nervous as the situation made me feel, the director's reaction and the steps she took were the only reason I didn't yank her out of there. Now, had it been a physical issue, I would have had to have a talk with the director to be reassured.</p> <p>I would suggest calling up, mentioning what you found, and discussing it with the director. The way he/she responds to your questioning will give you a really good idea of whether or not you want your kid there. Unfortunately, bad things happen, but it's the way places respond and fix them that I really look at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188341 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:26:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1188341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still consider them. I would maybe ask about what other employee professional development/stress management has been impleted since they to make sure they don't have other teachers feeling the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188339 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:25:53 +0000 Silva 1188339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I think its fantastic that they responded the way that the did. Often childcare centers will try to cover up incidents like this, to protect their image. This would make me more likely to choose them! Unfortunately there will always be risks and bad people in the world. The fact that this childcare responded so appropriately, demonstrates that they will do their best to keep your kiddo safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188337 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:25:06 +0000 blackbird 1188337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me, the way the incident was handled speaks more than the incident itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188335 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:24:53 +0000 lawbee11 1188335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it sounds like they did everything they should have. I would still go with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-this-slide#post-1188330 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:22:56 +0000 PrincessBaby 1188330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I have been touring daycares, and we found one that we felt good about and is willing to be super flexible with us as far as her starting FT until we find a nanny, and then going PT once we find a nanny - agreeing to whatever mix of days work best for us.</p> <p>We discussed it at length and I was fully prepared to enroll LO, and then after doing some more random googling for reviews (all of the reviews I read previously were very positive), I happened upon a news article about this daycare having an incident where a daycare worker popped a 4 yr old in the mouth (obvs there is not supposed to be any hitting or spanking AT ALL), and hit her hard enough that her lip bled. The daycare promptly contacted the parents and DSS, and they fired the worker immediately. They alerted all parents immediately of the situation. I read a statement from the daycare saying that they run background checks on every employee and pride themselves on safety. What bothers me the most is that it was pretty recent, July of this year. I feel like they did everything they were supposed to do, and ultimately this bad person was fired, is gone, and faces criminal charges so that it WILL show up on her next background check. I know this person could have technically ended up anywhere. But, I'm still hesitating....</p> <p>The only other day care we really liked has a wait list.</p> <p>Would you still go with a daycare that had a similar incident if they acted accordingly? </p>
