Why You SHOULD NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO DAYCARE! 7 Things to Consider! 

I really appreciate this video. I've been pressured by my mother-in-law to start looking into preschools for my two-year-old. My household my brother and I never went to preschool. In their household they've been in daycare since 6 months of age. And she keeps getting on to me about how it would help her learning development.

I used to work for a daycare, and it taught me one thing…when I have kids do anything to keep your kids out of daycare. This is 1000% accurate. I even worked for the best rated daycare out there. If parents even knew what happened when parents weren’t around they’d do anything to stay home with their kids. There wasn’t anything what you would call abusive, but when you put somebody in a room in charge of 6 infants, some babies are literally put in a swing or pack and play the entire day, or the playroom with little adult interaction other than diaper and feeding time. And when they get older that ratio even grows more, and the bad kids get all the attention and the good kids are completely ignored.

I found this incredibly comforting as a SAHM of two under 4. Society is getting crazier. We’re seriously considering home schooling.

I was fired from a daycare because I helped a little boy in braces get back to his feet and carried him to the door because the pain of the braces were at a point here he was crying. The other workers had ignored him for the previous few days as I saw him increase in distress. The owner of the daycare called me into her office and said she couldn’t have anyone that showed “favoritism” on staff, so she let me go. I just saw a little disabled boy in pain that was always last and being constantly ignored - and my heart broke for him. And I was fired for caring. I only worked there 2 weeks - but that plus my own experience being raised in daycare was enough for me to know to keep my own children far away…

The same thing happened to me. I got hired for a daycare position and only lasted a month because of the neglect and abuse I saw. I couldn't be a part of that. They would lock the autistic child in a closet for the day rather than referring him to a better equipped agency. I saw workers not washing their hands after changing diapers before handling snacks. It was nasty. I knew then and there that my children would never step foot in a daycare if God would help me. I have an almost 2 year old son and I praise the Lord he has provided for us so that either my husband or I are always with him. These years are precious and way too short.

I’m a SAHM of two girls under the age of 3 years old and I LOVE being at home with them! I don’t regret not working to be with them because they are only this little once ❤

Having been born in 1980 - I was put into daycare by the time I was just 8 weeks old all the way until it was time to start kindergarten. I can remember crying myself into hysterics waving good bye to my mom from the window of my day care as her car pulled away each morning, watching and waving until I couldn't see her car anymore. I'd eventually go on with my day, but I can distinctly remember how bad it felt when the daycare workers would get frustrated with me over how much I missed her - which was from sun up until she returned to pick me up at sun down. Every single day. I am living proof of how the mother/child bonding process is interrupted when children are dumped into daycare, and how this lack of solid bonding can have a lifelong effect. (Literally sobbing as I'm typing this.) My husband and I decided long before we were married that if we were to ever have kids of our own - that they would never have to know the agony of what it's like to be raised in a day care. We were married for almost five years when our first child was born 15 years ago - and I've been a stay at home mom raising him and his little sister who soon followed every day since. Thankfully, I married a hard working, dedicated man who worked tirelessly to make ends meet as a single income family. I coupon clipped, and cut as many corners as possible - we both knew the importance of our children having a loving, devoted, full time mother who was there for every one of their firsts. It was me - not a day care worker who got to kiss and console every boo-boo, it was me - not a day care worker who held their tiny hands as they took their first steps - and it was me - not a daycare worker who squealed in love and excitement as they smiled their first real smiles - and and it was worth every penny sacrificed. It's so unfortunate that in this day and age, being a full time stay at home mom comes with a lot of harsh judgement. I myself have received a lot of ridicule and resentment by other women who have looked down on me for being a stay at home mom. Some women (mostly fellow mothers) have literally asked me why I felt that wasting my life was a good example to our children. Some said that they wished they had married a man with the endless amounts of income so that they too could afford to stay at home all day, laying around eating bon-bons. It was so surprising to me how many women just assumed things like this, when in reality - they had it all wrong. No child asks to be born into this world. Why is it so hard for mothers of young children to understand that all children need and totally deserve to have the love, time and full attention that no day care center could possibly provide the way a mother could? As for the women who push and advocate so staunchly for the whole “working mom" career ideology - I wonder what they'd say if they were asked who they'd rather be raised by as a young child themselves.... Would they rather a nanny, a daycare, or by their own loving mother. Unfortunately, I don't think many of them would answer that question honestly.

As a former childcare provider who worked in daycare centers I totally agree with you. Lots of the teachers did show favoritism to other kids. I was very blessed quite a few years ago to be a nanny for my niece. Since I worked in daycare settings I did not want my niece to go through that

I’m a single parent, however I’m very blessed to be living in a basement suite of my parents, and i have been watching my niece and nephew for an income. It has allowed me to stay home with my son while watching family and Instilling similar values. My son who is now in elementary school has told me how glad he was to be at home with me rather than daycare. I realize it’s not the typical circumstances for many people, but I’m very grateful God has provided for us in this manner.

After I separated from my ex I moved back into my parents house. It’s been such a blessing to have my parents watch my toddler while I am at work. He goes to an organized playgroup at our park district once a week for an hour to learn and play. These teacher led groups are super affordable and a great way to introduce little ones to a classroom atmosphere if they are available in your area.

If I could pay the bills as a single mom from home I definitely would! I totally agree with her on this and believe being a stay at home mom is a important job.

Thank you for bringing me some type of reassurance, seems nobody understands me, but as long as God keeps providing and I’m able to stay home with my baby that’s all that matters ❣️

I’m getting so much pressure to send my almost 3 year old to daycare, this video was helpful in sticking my ground to keep her with me !

I told my wife I would scrub all the toilets of Yankee Stadium with a toothbrush before I ever let our two boys get dumped in some Day Care Warehouse. NFW. I fixed my old Jalopy. We did local family vacations. We joined Sam's Club and bought in bulk. We did whatever we had to do.

amen. great encouragement. ever since my husband and I were married and got pregnant, I've been a homemaker. for 4 years we've been able to do this; buy a house, feed and clothe our children 4, 2 and 1 due in January. have vehicles.. have fun, and live our lives - for whatever reason it's so hard for others to see or believe this. IF I worked, I would be going to work TO afford to send them to school/daycare full time. It is hard, no one said it was easy, but better than the alternative for sure.

Thank you for saying this! This is so smart, especially before potty training and such there is SO much they rely on adults for. Nonverbal children can’t report to their parents. Physical neglect can lead to permanent health issues down the line, especially with holding it too long. Other adults are not as in tune with the nonverbal cues of your child, and they don’t have eyes in the back of their head. It’s usually one caregiver for 4-6 kids, 3-4 diaper changes a day each leaves the other kids unwatched for 15-30 minutes a day. Then snack, then activity changes, the adults are not full time caregivers to each child in that room. The emotional development is sometimes ok, but the times it’s not… these kids go into first grade with baggage and emotional distress. 😢

I am a homemaker and I am so glad that I am home to enjoy and raise my 6 month old baby boy and help my husband. I grew up in a home daycare ran by my mom and know others who own/ed daycare centers and I know all too well the things you’ve mentioned.

I used to volunteer in multiple daycares. Couldn’t agree more. The teacher yelling, favor some, ignoring , hygiene, and many more. I will not send my kids to daycare no matter what or where.

It’s very difficult today for parents to afford everyday expenses let alone day care. Parents working opposite shifts or having relatives provide child care are the only other options if one parent cannot stay home with the children. Excess consumerism has really messed up our society. My generation ( the 70’s) pushed the agenda of women into careers and the trap of more and better things as well as the government wanting more tax payers on board. I applaud all parents who are able to live within their means, sacrifice having unnecessary things, and prioritizing what truly matters in life. Having the confidence to do this and not follow the crowd is commendable.

Thank you for posting this video and explaining in detail the reasons. I was raised by a revolving door of strangers at daycare. I was abused and so was my sibling. I’m now a mom myself and I cannot even imagine putting my child in daycare. My mom didn’t pay much attention to us and put work as her number 1 priority. To this day, my mom doesn’t regret it and still says she needed to work bc my dad or any man could up and leave her one day. I shake my head and think why the heck marry at all if you’re so afraid your husband will leave you?! Also, a woman doesn’t need to work full time from their 20s to 60s in order to protect themselves financially. She needs an education and/or skill.

I'm not a mother. I'm not even married. But if I have kids, I don't want them in daycares/childcare when they are under about three, and not for long hours. I'm trying to set my life up in a way that would allow me to stay home.

You are a wonderful human being! Thank you for your honesty, it is so valued! I value it, and it just boosts my self-awareness and my belief in myself! I always reflected on all these aspects, and even noticed downward trends of how it was affecting my kid more negatively, than positively! Unfortunately, the father of the child is of complete opposite make. He chooses to blindly believe in the opinion of the majority even when the negative sides are loud and obvious in his face! I hope I will live long to be able to help my child grow a happy and a healthy person! I love him so much!

It was so heartbreaking reading comments of former dc workers :( Im so blessed to be able to stay home with my 8 month old baby girl. I love her so much and I can’t imagine leaving her with anyone else other than her dad and grand parents. Child rearing is hard enough even when it’s your own and you love them so much. I can’t imagine someone who’s taking care of my bub as a their job and my baby is one of the many babies to look after. It’s exhausting and im sure many dc workers are sweet but it requires a lot of patience and motherly love that only parents can give.

How refreshing - I'm not a mother but I cannot understand why women have children when they're just going to use daycare. A mother should be caring for their children themselves. It's either a career or motherhood.

Thank you so much to you for saying these right things! I share these values and do it, empirically!

Just started sending my child to daycare 2 days last week and I was hoping she would enjoy it, but I am finding out I was a bit naive in my expectations. She was upset when we left and upset when we picked her up. She was also not eating very much. I'm now trying to rethink how we approach daycare and see if we can't limit the time she spends there and get the grandparents involved once a week. Appreciate the advice from someone who is familiar with the job and environment of a daycare centre. Keep up the good work.

I worked at a daycare for 5 years and I miss the kids with all my heart . Sometimes parents would forget their child is at daycare so I would be left with them until dark .

Thank you for sharing this was awesome

Thanks for this, been a great help!

Even though it is a struggle as a single mom, I have refused to put my children into daycare. I only get jobs that work around my child's needs to ensure they get more of my time than anyone else. Being a mom is the best and i wouldnt trade it for anything.

I'm so glad somebody is finally saying something about this we need more people talking about it

I read Martha Peace's The Excellent Wife years ago and she mentioned exactly that about the second income going to other cost rather than really contributing to the household having more.

As a first time single mother I found this comforting. I feel so bad because I work from home and I am constantly getting complaints for the daycare😢 I want to pull her completely from the daycare honestly

I feel sending kids to day care for few(3-4) hours a day helps them interact with other kids and gives you a break and take rest and also you wint miss them much and still van teach them through out the day and enjoy the milestones.

One mile from my job a Day Care operates. The kids are super young. What a sin to watch late model cars come & go collecting the kids. BMWs........Mercedes......Lexus......I saw a Land Ranger pull out recently. It still had the brand new temporary cardboard license plate. That's a $120K auto. Shameful. Their kids will be a mess.

I worked in a preschool, its really subjective from one person's experience to another. When you have more reliable people in your house to look after kids, then kids are likely to learn faster from the reliable adults in your house. Otherwise, daycare is a good option especially if they have a good curriculum and care for children. You have to assess the schools and teachers. Some teachers can treat children like how they are treated poorly in third world countries whereas other teachers treat the children like their own with so much care and dedication.

Here in Japan, the law says that there must be one licensed childcare worker for every twenty 3 year olds! That ratio is so nuts to me! So there are employers who just think "because the law says that, I don't need to give them any help." That is so negligent--if one child has an accident, how can you safely watch that many kids as you help that child? I work for an international preschool and I teach the kids English, and my class had 22 kids last school year. With just me and my licensed childcare worker partner, I was too afraid to take them on walks or go to the park. This year, I have 13 kids and I'm really looking forward to the break.

I’ve worked in daycares, preschools and the US public school system. I also did not like how things were run at some facilities. I’m in the process of starting an in home daycare. My goal is to keep a very low ratio (like 2-3 kids) and give them the one-on-one attention that they need. I also found that centers aren’t alway open with parents. Staff will said “they had a great day” but I’m able to tell parents things like “they really enjoyed doing (blank) today, or we struggled with (blank) today what can I do to help they”.

Thank you for being so open and honest and forward with your thoughts on this matter! I wish I had the balls to say this sortof thing when converstaion comes up about why my TWO YEAR OLD AND 11MONTH OLD are not in daycare. Like, idk, maybe because they are BABIES!!!! Once I feel comfortable in our communication, THEN i will send them to be with others and they will be able to tell me what goes on.

It’s hard to hear, but it’s true. My husband does not want me to stop working. I know that me staying home would be what’s best for the kids, but it’s so hard to make that lifestyle change. We need to pray about it, God can open doors and opportunities for us that we would never have even imagined.

Thank you for your honest video, it makes so much sense what you are saying. My daughter is going to be putting her ten-month-old in daycare, she has a career as a lawyer she also has a partner who is on a good remuneration. So I don't understand. I would love to look after my granddaughter but it's not possible, bc I live too far away. I've aired my opinion that I'm not happy with this. After all, my daughter didn't go to nursery, My ex-husband said that I should be supporting her and not making her feel guilty, but underneath I feel so upset with it all. My granddaughter isn't even talking or walking yet.

Great advice!

Nanny to daycare worker here. YUP. The picture you paint is an optimistic one. I've worked in 6 daycares. I've seen kids held down to nap then wake up screaming bloody murder. I've seen children under 3 fed choke hazard foods (popcorn and raw carrots!!) and open access to choke hazard sensory bins (dried beans!!!). I've seen kids empty toy boxes get in and then other kids put the lid on and stand on it. I've seen kids blankets and lovies from home confiscated for bad behavior (this should not happen-it is emotional abuse). I've seen huge outbreaks of diaper rash and I've over here knowing the "know-it-all" worker is putting the clean diaper under the dirty one (spreads germs, is disgusting) while she's changing diapers. I've seen workers take their hands off and put their back to a child on the changing table while changing them to look for items. I've seen ones children given paint and paper plates to paint on while they were put in a high chair. I pointed out that something made them think it was their snack and not food since they were shoving it in their mouths. Finally, I've even seen a one slapped for fidgeting with the high chair tray. I told the other teacher to take the tray if it bothered her. She said "she has to learn." The sad number of "they have to learn" forcing them to learn things they should be learning in 2 or 3 years not how from various staff and directors from different daycares make me so sad for children. If the mom is high powered making over 50k a year, hire a nanny, stagger schedules with your spouse so you can hire a part time nanny. The only daycares where they can pay well enough to be picky and hire those that know child development is really Headstart, a government program for poor kids. I've applied to and toured church daycares and preschools. Those seem pretty decent. The Waldorf preschool also seems decent.

As an expecting first-time mom, cannot agree more with you 💙. Thanks for sharing your POV and experience ✨

I’ve always said this about daycare- didn’t place my own in daycare and definitely helped care for my grandchildren to keep them out of day care - this is an excellent informative video

Very true time goes by so fast my children won't be little forever and working at the daycare they go to is what I've been doing since I've had my first child but some daycare owners I feel are in it strictly for and not for the ECE part of the business.

Love this. Me and my two brothers were daycare babies from three months old. By the time we were 10, 13 and 16 we all had behavioral issues, one of us a drug addiction, and one of us actually got custody given up by mom. It was a broken family, also ended up with my dad taking to the bottle. I’m not saying daycare started all this, but I am saying a strong family unit is a necessity for mentally healthy, able bodied children. It’s a slippery slope. And is it really worth it for the sake of you earning a meaningless paycheck?

I agree 100 percent thanks so much for your honest review I personally don't agree putting a child in daycare period

Thank you for your amazing video, i live in europe and i quit my corporate job and started a half time business at home to be with my daughter as much as possible . Since she is 18 months she goes 3 hours per day to a very small daycare (ratio 3 to 1), very nice staff , lots of montessori and outdoor activities, when she cried they call me and let me come to see her or pick her up. Her nap time and the rest of her day is with me always. I was able to breastfeed until 2,5 years old. She is now almost 3 years old and very happy to go see her friends and do the activities for 3 hours each day but if i have to do it all over again i will not put her there before the age of 2. I hope these 3 hours per day did not harm her i still feel so guilty because i learned more about how it is important to be with our kids at this age 😢

Excellent video

Yes, I work at a center and I can’t tell you how many times the children come to me crying for his/her mom or dad. So sad! Parents, pray that God makes a way for you to care for your own child(ren)

I have kindergarten across the road from where I live I see 2 and 3 yr olds being dropped off a 6am and it's still pitch black and picked up at 6pm that's along time for toddler. Some there that long they don't want to go home

Whatever you said is true, BUT what do you suggest parents do? How are they going to make money if they do not work? Not all families can afford one parent staying home and not all families have relatives they can trust.

Was the book, 'The Stay at Home Mom' by Donna Otto? I have the 1997 edition and on page 157, she lists all the extra expenses of a working mom that you mentioned.

You just got a new subscriber, God bless you...

"I'm not big on studies they just don't make sense". Huh, that is precisely what the whole function of a study is, to make sense of a topic of interest. I just can't even finish now 😂

Thank you

A M A Z I N G video!! I absolutely cannot wait to have children and I am very ready to do motherhood but I refuse to bring babies into this world if I won’t be able to be their primary and full time caregiver. And I refuse to get married, even though I am ready for that commitment, because I cannot, for the life of me marry a man that doesn’t understand every single point you made on this video and that won’t stand up and provide and make the sacrifices to allow me to stay home with our “prospective” children. I just can’t do it, I cannot fathom the possibility of not being “there” 🤷🏽‍♀️ They are not even born yet and I am already stressing about only spending 18 summers with them 🤣 I work as a nanny in NYC and while it provides an income that I can’t complain about, I can’t help but be sad for my nanny babies. SO MANY moms who have the financial freedom, through their partners, to stay home with their children and they STILL choose their careers over their babies. I get these children at 9 am and hand them back 5 P.M., the parents only feed them dinner and put them to bed, it breaks my heart. At the same time, I’m happy I get to be there for them because I love them as my own ❤️ and I’m thankful God has put people like you in my way that teach me how to train and bring them up as nice human beings. I paid my way through a BA in ECE just so I could understand child development and know what to do when my time came 🥰 God knows I’m very ready, I cannot wait for my turn! Thank you for sharing all these pearls of wisdom!

I completely agree with everything you've said. Trusting school systems is not good either. If I had known then what I understand now about government mind control programming/abuse within many daycares and schools systems in addition to even much more simple things, there's no way I would have sent my children to school. I lived in a small community and knew most of the teachers well, but things still happened that I didn't know about and found very disturbing when I realized what had taken place---for example, the reading of Harry Potter together as a class!!

Thank you for this video. Unfortunately, my daughter is in daycare (single parent). Just this week she has been hit and bitten by other kids and now she is more aggressive.

I really hate what feminism has done to our society. I’ve had more feminists Christian’s pressure me into working just because we’re poor. Even my husband wants me to make ends meet but also be full time stay at home wife. It’s almost impossible to do both. I work just part time at night and I hate that I’m not fully there for my kid because I'm so tired

It’s crazy how many people pressure me into sending my toddler to preschool!

I used to volunteer for a daycare I Eyewitness child abuse and yes I reported to the manager but She never fire the teacher I was so upset I had to reported to my job program SCC it saw teenagers how to become adults getting ready for the new world.... Am a person who deal with PTSD I told my teacher what happened And I didn't want to volunteer there no longer

I had no choice but to send my child to daycare. I wish my wife can be a stay home Wife, but I can’t afford it. One day I will. My baby was born Dec. 2019, she haven’t been around anyone until her birthday and Christmas. 2021, we still kind of stayed separated because of the pandemic, but her grandmas and cousins came to our house here and there. She still wasn’t around a lot of kids then. Fall 2021, we tried the daycare route, she had a bruised eye her 3rd day. So we stopped, her grandmas took turns watching her, but it was taking a toll on them because they were up in age. So a few weeks ago today, we tried it again, so far so good, but I’ve been a nervous wreck since yesterday, they told me my daughter not interacting with other kids. She interacts with the tv, she say her numbers and colors. I believe its because she doesn’t want to be there, because she use to cry every time I leave her there. It’s scary, because I’ve been looking into autism symptoms since I picked her up yesterday.

Almost my whole childhood was spent in daycare. Including summer break. I was forced to throw away my youth in a child kennel. But I cant bring this up to my parents because i know theyll just gaslight me like they always have.

I’m looking into doing back office with my job, because my daughter (2y 7m) she been having tantrums and I feel as a mom something is going wrong..my husband saying opposite but I’m standing my ground and taking her out of school permanently

You’re such a wealth of information! I’m a single mother doing everything alone. I’m able to work from home and keep my kiddo home but must admit I’m quite tired and my work suffers. Are you ever willing to chat one on one? I’d love some guidance from you on a few things and admit I need the help.

This must be below 18 months..with regards to the milestones..in canada we have generous mat leave and are home for that duration

This is so true. And/but we live in a hugely different world than when i was that age. A lot of moms were home so kids were just able to play with other kids in the neighborhood back then(1960s). The moms sometimes visited with each other while the kids played. If more people would be better at choosing and staying with a marriage partner, there would be much less need for full time daycare.

This video is eye 👁 opener for all parents who thinks the daycare are better place to leave I completely agree with this video I recently had very bad experience with my 18 month toddler They left my baby crying all alone for about 30min Without interacting with I watched all from windows I just wanted to see how long they will leave babies attending Caregivers are working like a machine not human touch at all They take everything granted to do with our kids Its just Dangerous to leave baby in daycare

I really appreciate your insight on your parenting videos. While I agree with your points on the issue of daycare, I think it is important to note more than just in passing, that some parents don't have a choice. And while some may not have considered every point you addressed, I think deep down they all want to spend more time with their kids than they are able and dont want someone else raising them. While I hope those who have a choice will weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice for their kids, I also don't want parents to feel guilty for having to send their child to daycare. There are many situations where daycare is the only option to avoid worse consequences. I would love to see a video on your thoughts for those who have to use daycare and how to make the most of that situation as well. Keep up the good work! More videos on non-traditional parenting, kids with special needs or behaviors, and dealing with teens would be great topics I'd appreciate and could use as a resource at work!

Thank you so much for your advice you stopped me from mistake i was going to do by thinking of sending my baby to daycare. Thank Allah I watched your video. ❤❤❤❤

Everyone should home educate their children if they can, if they cant maybe let the grandparents or babysitters look after them

I'm a single dad and I work 10hrs a day in order to put food on table and roof over our head. I have no family to help daycare is all I got. Any other options?

What would be a gopd age for children to start school?

Could the book be “Women Leaving the Workforce” by Dr. James Dobson?

If I had to have low wage strangers paid to be a 'teacher' (not even nurturer) for my children when under 5, I'd not of had them. The joy is to see them thrive especially emotionally setting them up for life. Otherwise no point. Only about 1 in 30 workers is 20% of mary poppins or better, the rest its a chore. And why not as 40 hrs a week for probably giving what they may have never even got? Only someone who cares and is capable provides the intangible emotional care that isnt easily measured.

I’ve recently sent my son to Day care for 3 days a week, he enjoyed for a week but now he doesn’t want to go anymore. I’m not sure the reason because of missing mommy or other reason. I’m feeling bad about it after watching your video. Maybe we will figure out a better option. Thank you

Many, many, many children thrive in a properly run Day Care setting! Parents, it’s up to you to do your homework when checking out child care for your little one. In the right Day Care, children can absolutely flourish in all of their developmental domains. Clumping all child care Centers in the same sub standard category is unfair & highly assumed. Parents NEED to be picky, do their own research on a child Care facility, read reviews, ask for educational backgrounds of employees, ask about curriculum, etc. The right Day Care Center can help your child flourish above & beyond their educational & developmental years! There are great child Care Centers & horrible Child Care Centers. There are also great home experiences for little ones & horrible home experiences for little ones. 0:15

So please someone tell me what I'm supposed to do then. I am a single mother 3-year-old. How am I supposed to provide for my child and not put him in daycare? Serious question. Please answer

what if you don't have relatives in the area you live in for work or one of your kids has special needs

I see so many parents then, after they send them to daycare all week, feel that it's a good thing for them to also "get away" together. Lol the child maybe spends a couple hours a week with them.

We went into super debit having two incomes and paying for daycare.

I really Love your channel even though I don't have kids ❤.

That book might be Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Jose Domingez

Excellent video! It is God’s will for women to be home with their children (Titus 2 and Proverbs 31). Thank you for sharing and God bless you.

I am planning to put my child in daycare but not willing to send her for more then 3 hr as she is too small 19 months only but at the same time I belive that it will be really beneficial for her to go for 3 hr as they have lot of activities and she will get the opportunity to interact with other kids. I don’t belive keeping them in care of elders for whole days and for weeks coz they actually don’t have the energy to entertain such a small child and most of the times they r not upto date with right nurturing.

I’m curious. So the daycares y’all working at don’t have 24/7 cameras??🤔

Well this video just made me feel horrible. We started our baby in daycare and I’m expecting next week. The facility we chose has a camera and our little one loves it. It’s so much easier to have this service while hubby works and I am super sick pregnant. My daughter is 15 months old. I have no idea what else to do. Her staying with my parents and grandparents isn’t good for her social and developmental skills. I want her to socialize and be on a curriculum. We teach her at home as well. I definitely see your aspect and where you are coming from but this has added to my mom guilt for sure today….

I quit my job and at that place there was a person who was abusive and so mean to kids in her class. You know what they did to fix that? Put her in another room. I don't ever want to work at a daycare ever again.

That’s very horrible to hear the experiences that you had working in a daycare facility. I’m not saying that doesn’t happen where I live, but there are very specific regulations for who is hired in a facility in Australia. All workers must have already completed their diplomas or are working to complete their diplomas in childcare in order to be allowed to work in a centre here. There are also several educational regulations and assessments that the facilities go through throughout the year that they need to meet in order to continue to service a centre. There is also a max number of children per educator allowed and activities that they must teach the kids here in terms of social and educational knowledge. Also all daycare is subsidized by the government here so the more hours you work, the less you pay for childcare. You have meet the teacher/educator days and every day at least twice a day you are sent photos or videos of what your child specifically is doing that day or has been working on. Any achievements are also advised through special centre apps. Finally, I would advise whoever is considering using daycare to spend a lot of time selecting the right one and not base it at all on cost. If you can only afford to send your child to an expensive one twice a week and a cheaper one for more days, it’s worth looking at the actual differences in their methods of care and teaching in order to compare and not base it on price or how many hours. We used a Montessori childcare for our children and it was the best thing we ever did as it helped them gain independence and helped them learn how to share and socialize with others. The hardest part for us was the transition to mainstream primary school that is set in the old school “teacher says this so you must do it this way because they say so”. Primary school in Australia is really terrible unless you have thousands of dollars to send them to a private school and by thousands I mean 30k a year per child.

Hello mam, my 1.5 year old started to go to daycare since a month as we both are working.. she goes only for 3 days in a week and she cries every time all day, does not eat at all.. What should i do??

Thank you for the enlighting video.. So what is the best age to send pre school? My baby is 1.10 yrs now, first child. I sent her 2 weeks ago to nursurey. but I am afraid that she doesn't feel safe there, or is it too early for me to decide whether she fits there or not. Also, is this age (1.10) too early and I should send her back home? Please advise thank you

Unfortunately iam a single mom I need daycare to work😢

A bit religious for me, but I totally agree!!

The guilt I feel right now😢. We’re paying so much for daycare and receiving below average care.

1 income or 0 income ???
