I was both saddened and relieved recently to find this site. It is a collection of quotes from childcare providers about what they have observed in daycares.
I was saddened because, having worked in five different childcare jobs, I have personally seen occurances of almost all of the situations reported on the website; it was saddening to find that the problems I myself saw seem to be quite common and widespread.
I was relieved to find that the information in those pages is available for parents to read and know. It breaks my heart to think that there may be some people- single mothers, for instance- in truly difficult situations, who can find no alternative to putting their children in a daycare center. I wonder how quickly daycare would cease to even be an option if they observed the things I did when I worked in daycare.
I do not think it necessary for me to write now about my daycare experience. I suppose it is just important to me to get that link out there; because, as I said, I have observed all but one or two of the horrible instances that others have already reported here.
I haven't even touched on the issue of daycare being unbiblical. Some other time.
I am thankful that I am no longer working in that area. My conscience was too heavy about it, and the Lord provided me with another job.
