I work at a small private center with many teachers (and kids) who have been there since it opened. We are competing against 2 large chains in the area, one of which comes across to prospective parents as quite "fancy." They seem so great, but when you look at their inspections you see many repetitive instances of out of ratio ect. We have teachers at our center who have fled from there and they all say the same thing. They are always out of ratio (badly so) and the center might be accredited, but it really only is doing things the right way when the accreditor is watching.

When I was looking for a job I knew I wanted a small private center. If I were a parent I would only use a small private one or an in-home one.
