I would forward medical bills to the director, and get their policies in writing. Absolutely preventable and avoidable.
Thank you. My son is the average weight of a 16 month old. I totally can understand how it is enticing for kids in his own class as well as the 5-6 year old class to pick him up, but it is not acceptable. It was never a problem in his previous daycare because of the discipline you describe above.
I'm hoping I get answers soon. I want to be nice and understanding, but I am not super happy that it happened.
