Funny story....I had a parent like you once, always blaming dc on her kids sickness....I saw them at Walmart, and their 4 year old was sucking on the handle of the cart....Yes, sucking on the handle of the cart.....think she might of gotten a few germs in her mouth from doing that? Heck yea. But then for parents......it is much easier to blame it on the dc. So sad and shows how "smart" many parents arn't.
O.k, so you "very-smart-daycare-provider", this is my opinion AS a mom, who has always worked in daycares for years. I have been in this, so I know how it works. All the day cares I have worked in, were unsanitary. The dc providers do such things as scraping the food from one child, who has already been munching on it, but did not finish it, to another`s plate! YES!!! Been there, seen it.... was shocked! Also, in this same daycare I have observed that, when it was snack time, the little one-year-old was crawling on the carpet, she got her snack literary off the floor!!! Yes! Should I continue? The lady, who was the owner of this home daycare, was so stingy, that I, as a new employee was not allowed to use paper towel, only for their diaper change. She, instead used hand towels, that were dampened. There is nothing wrong with this, right? Only if the SAME towel was used for pretty much all of the toddlers and babies, which was the case here!
THIS is exatly why kids get sick all the time in these "super-day cares". Because my experience taught me that, the providers are all nicey-nice to parents, but when the door closes, only God knows, what is going on in there..... and sometimes it`s not pretty!
