Let me start off by saying that we NEVER expected this to happen at my children’s daycare and it’s a lot so please read to the end.

We enrolled my at the time 2 year old and 2 month old at a new daycare. We had many things go wrong in the first month of them being in this daycare. First thing was my son (2 months old) was on a demand feed schedule and I stated that numerous time to the staff and the director, and they continuously refused to feed him on his schedule and would only feed him on their schedule (every three hours), so on top of that he was also teething (early I know but he had all his teeth by 6 months) so we had signed papers and sent baby Tylenol to be given as frequently as needed. We got called three times to pick him up 2 hours after drop off because he was “inconsolable, and refusing to be held” mind you I fed him right before dropping off but he feeds on demand so sometimes will wanna eat again after an hour, if it wasn’t him crying it was how his bottles were the wrong type or I didn’t give enough clothes (he didn’t need his clothes changed after every spit up like they were trying to do so 6 outfits a day was excessive) and everytime we would get called to come get him we’d give him Tylenol and feed him and he’d be perfectly fine again and we explained that to them multiple times and without fail kept getting called to pick him up. Mind you we only got called to pick him up AFTER the main room worker left for the day at lunch (she was amazing with him the other lady not so much) so after so many outbursts of needing to pick up my 2 month old in his first month there, they kicked him out because the other staff member in the room refused to watch my child cause she didn’t wanna follow my schedule for him. Now this is just the icing on top of the cake for the rest of what happened.

My 2 year old was put into the toddler room at this daycare the staff was amazing she was doing sooooooo good. They had naps and we were told to send her with her comfort thing (her stuffed monkey she took everywhere and refused to sleep without) they TOLD US to bring it for her she had a routine of only sleeping with it then putting it to “sleep” in her locker when she woke up. She turned 3 and was IMMEDIATELY moved to the preschool room (do I think she was ready? No didn’t have a choice? Also no.) and let me just say that room was going through staff so quick new staff constantly in and out of that room quitting or getting fired and all I got to say now is that the staff that stayed the longest bullied my child, she brought her monkey like always layed down with it and then when pickup rolled around the staff member told us “she’s not aloud to bring toys to daycare anymore so leave it at home” mind you this thing was the only thing holding my toddler together at daycare, she refused to be there without it, so without fail I brought it back the next day and told them she was told she was aloud to have it there and therefore she was keeping it there, they refused said she had to leave if the toy came in, they grabbed my child and had me Rip this toy out of her hands while she was screaming bloody murder, by this point I was DISTRAUGHT left consoled myself then went back in and took my child home, immediately contacted the director but clearly not quick enough because her staff got to her before me and lied about a bunch of things that were later proved incorrect in the video footage. Fast forward like a month, she started school yay only had to deal with them half the day at this point, the school wanted her potty trained and was working with her on it but everytime they got close the daycare would screw up the potty training, mind you toileting was another thing, they put diapers on her and let her sit in nasty soggy diapers all day and when in underwear she came home without any on multiple times with the excuse “she didn’t have more in her bag” yes she did she had atleast 10 pairs in her bag plus pants. She eventually without fail got potty trained yay that’s great, then she started coming home from daycare with her jeans on backwards. JEANS on backwards they were supposed to be helping her on these toilets mind you and they clearly never did. Fast forward again I went out of town with my baby and left my daughter with my mother and she was doing pickups and drop offs and everything seemed fine until I got a call from the director that I needed to come in immediately and that my mother was no longer aloud on the property cause she’s apparently dangerous. Weird clearly, they even threatened cps on us because of whatever my mom apparently did. I went in and she showed me the dangerous footage only to find it was cause my toddler was having a tantrum and refusing to put her jacket on she my mom tossed it down on the floor beside my child and told her she was leaving without her then (that normally gets her up and going quick and it’s also what I do) the daycare said that was abusive and neglectful somehow. Now it gets even better than that, my daughter was being fed her allergy’s at the daycare without me knowing and when confronted they said they didn’t even know she had allergy’s (her other daycare room knew so why didn’t they) she in turn got a rash all over her body near hives on every inch of her body, and instead of saying sorry for causing it they told me my child was now “contagious” and wouldn’t be aloud back to daycare till it cleared up IT WAS JUST ECZEMA and the doctors confirmed that they told her she was gross and contagious to her face, to a 3 year olds face after tossing every one of her belongings into a garbage bag and tossing them at us, telling us my 3 year old needed to wear a mask to the CHRISTMAS FAMILY SUPPER if she plans to attend. And again she was 3 and far from being contagious it was an allergic reaction to food they gave her without caring if she was allergic. At that point we pulled her out of daycare and never returned even months later the staff that was good to us now IGNORES us and we are ultimately shit on by the entire daycare for their misfortunes.

Please tell me I’m not crazy for thinking everything they did there was wrong. My child is nearly 5 and she still remembers how they treated her.

So AITAH for pulling my child out of that daycare and telling people not to enroll their children there?
