This thread just reminds me of how much I DON'T miss center work. I have a strong sense of empathy and my heart would break for those "almost old enough" 2 year olds who were thrown into the 3 year old room at the end of the day. They would be overwhelmed and scared, just so the center could save a few bucks.

The end of day shuffling of children and staff was an every single day event. Only now in hindsight do I realize how potentially dangerous this practice was.

I'm sure the op is long gone, but I still want to say no, this was absolutely not solely your fault. I would actually say this is about 95% the center's fault. They fired you to cover their asses and save face.
