I hate my daycare. Like, really really have no patience, no anything left for this place. I am counting down the days until our new center is built so I can pull him out of there.

This morning I brought my son in and a couple of little girls came up to him while I was trying to get his coat off. I was concerned with him and with getting the door closed so there were no escapees, and I didn't realize one of the girls went behind me and was playing with the door hinge. I let the door close and it closed with her finger in it.

I'm hoping it's not broken, but it looked awful. She was so upset too :(. I feel so bad. And yet, I'm mostly just really pissed at them.

I left the room after I got DS settled in and I told the assistant director (director wasn't there) that they needed to do something about the doors ASAP. She told me there was nothing they could do because they're fire doors, so the pinch guards would keep them from closing. She said sometimes classrooms have the play area in the back to keep them away from the door. So I told her she needed to be more proactive about this and her response was, "How are we supposed to be proactive? This hasn't happened in a long time." My jaw hit the floor.

This can't be normal right? I was standing in the middle of the hall yelling at her that they were toddlers and how could they not be vigilant about the doors? I have to make sure every single day that DS doesn't get his fingers caught every time I close a door at home. And in a place full of professional childcare workers, it hasn't occurred to anyone that the doors are dangers. What the actual F*CK?
