I do understand what your saying, though. I would not take only this comment into consideration, though. Look closely at all the other things. Call the Partnership for Children or Children’s Resource Center in your County & they can give more info on this ChildCare center. they give referalls and have info such as the rating on the centers, qualifications of the workers and much more!

The large child care center that I take my kids to is a franchise. I feel it is very well run and because of the association with the franchise corporation they will watch their steps otherwise they will lose their franchise and probably face lawsuit by the corporation.

You can always vote with your wallet and take your child care business someplace else if you are unhappy with the center, or report them to the state.

It isn’t any better in college. I had a temporary job at an elite college and sat in on a meeting where the admissions reps discussed how many private pay (parents paying, no financial aid) kids they needed to have. No mention was made if the kids were actually academically qualified for the school.

I switched to a private preschool where the needs of the child is the main priority, and the difference in the childrenis amazing! They are happier, more engaged in learning, and better behaved!

Don’t go to a large/chai center if you have any other options!
