I am really frustrated with daycare. We've had an on-going issue with D not napping well there. He's easily distractible and the room he's in is like a zoo every time I'm there. Teachers walk in and out, the heavy door slams they talk in loud voices, babies are crying, etc. On top of that he's just started walking and the floor is generally littered with non-mobile babies. In a room of 7 kids all 6 others are younger than him. There's barely any room for him to move or practice walking without tripping over a baby or swing or something else.

I called the director yesterday to talk about the room and the issue of his naps came up. She basically told me the solution to both problems is to move him to the toddler room, which is basically an older infant/young toddler room (the kids are all 12-15 months). He'll have more room to move and they have a dedicated quiet nap time. But they don't have a spot for him in that room for another month or two. Meanwhile they have been moving other kids in his infant class up to that room instead of him.

So I'm really annoyed because the director had already identified that he was having issues and identified a solution, and yet for whatever reason other kids are being moved instead of him. I asked her why she moved a girl that's younger than him instead, and she said she won't discuss other kids with me.

Then she was asking me what I want her to do. I told her I'm not a daycare expert, that she is and that I'm looking to her for suggestions. And again, we're back at the toddler room will fix it. Eventually I had to get off the phone and left more detailed instructions on when he needs to nap. Which I've given them before, but apparently they don't listen or keep forgetting.

This morning I walk in and I can tell she's had a talk with his teachers because they were not friendly at all. His main teacher (whom he loves) completely ignored the both of us when I walked in. Usually she's all smiles and over the top "Good morning! How are you D!" etc. Then I felt crap after I left and started to worry she's going to take out her annoyance with me on my son . Maybe I'm being silly, but I'm getting all upset at the thought of no one interacting with him today, or only doing the bare minimum because they're mad at me :(.

*sigh*. I'm not sure what the point of this is other than to vent. Sorry for the length :(.
