Why I would NEVER put my baby in a daycare..
Before I start explaining my experience about working at a daycare , I would like to address that I know many mommies have to place their baby in a day care during the day because they are the sole provider of a little one, and there is nothing wrong with that!🤍
Back in 2022, I was going to college and I had just started working at a daycare . For starters, there was 1 teacher (me) placed with about 11 kids which isn’t a smart idea because they were 3 and 4 year olds and it was hard to keep an eye on all of them . What mostly got to me was that parents would drop off their kids early in the morning (6 AM) until (6 PM) trusting that the daycare would feed their babies a well balanced healthy meal.In reality, these babies were eating crackers with apple juice all day, in fact there was NO COOK even hired to make food for the little ones . Our babies will never be as safe as they are with their us present . And like I said , there is nothing wrong with taking your babies to a daycare if it is a necessity.

In recent years, daycare safety and quality have become major concerns for parents. Many are turning to alternative care options, such as in-home childcare or family assistance, to ensure a safer environment for their children. Research shows that the caregiver-to-child ratio is crucial for proper attention and care. Inadequate staffing can lead to insufficient supervision, which can affect children's safety and development. The debate around daycare food quality is also significant; parents worry about whether their children are receiving nutritious meals. Often, regulations around daycare food standards vary, creating inconsistencies in the level of care. This highlights the need for parents to investigate and ask the right questions when choosing daycare services. It's essential for parents to advocate for better standards in childcare settings, ensuring their little ones are safe, well-fed, and nurtured in a positive environment.
i don't even trust my church daycare and i LOVE my church, i couldn't imagine leaving my child with strangers for 12 hours a day. i understand if it's your only option but it doesn't feel right or natural. i've also seen some unpleasant things while working in daycare's unfortunately!
