Is it frowned upon to keep one child in daycare if a parent will be home with the other one?
My preschooler has been sick so often since he started at this daycare. I promote frequent hand washing with him but he still gets sick a lot.
That depends on ALOT of things.
- Type of family you normally are...
- How often (if at all) your kids are "dumped" at daycare
- What you center policies are about this
- What type of work your DH does
Etc etc etc...
In some situations, it's not made me think twice at all and in a few, it bothered me so much that I just said no.
So again, it really is dependent on a lot of things that individual to both the family and the provider as well as the kids themselves.
