Hellobee Boards

I get a very brief verbal rundown. 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.

@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.

We get a report broken down in categories, like "cognitive" "art", etc. It will have stuff like "read books with new friends" and "enjoyed lunch!" Honestly, getting anything at all is a huge improvement over the last daycare!

Nope, nothing unless DD tells me and I am fine with that. (She's in pre-k) This is why they have parent teacher conferences and I can call her teacher if I have any concerns.

We get a full daily sheet for DD who is in Pre-School and DS who is in Kindergarten Enrichment - I also get verbal updates from DD's teacher.

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!

We get a verbal rundown at pick-up and they have whiteboards where they put the information of what activities they did that day. 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.

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.

Usually written for LO 2 and usually verbal for LO 1. I will ask questions if I need more info.
