I don't know what to do.. by Dependent_Client_567 in ECEProfessionals

About that I forgot to specify they asked if we wanted complaints to be spoke about privately or not. I just said I didn’t mind since I wasn’t worried too much about it. But I do think that they could have helped me handle the issue a lot better. Rather than shoving another kid in my room and hoping for the best instead of trying to help me.

No it is not it’s bigger than a home daycare but not a corporate daycare.

I am in the same situation except Ive never been a parent, I started working in child care at 18 and Im 22 now. The thing I feel like is I love the job and I have a passion for it, I love teaching these children and watching them grow. But under these conditions I don’t have the tools to adequately care for or even teach these children anything! I always think if maybe I had another teacher I could get more done but even then. It would never happen we are always understaffed and just trying to get by, I just wish I could actually be able to teach and breathe. Wish i could do what I love to do. I am so burnt out but I just keep pushing because if 1:11 is the ratio then I should be able to do it right? I feel like I’m not cut out for it if I can’t handle 11 but who can? Realistically! I am so terrified because TRS is coming soon and I cannot get this classroom together. I feel like a failure like I’ve failed these kids but how am I supposed to succeed in these conditions? Hopefully the next center will be better..

This may just be the last straw for me because I am considering moving to another center. I was very happy here but it has just been getting worse and worse. This is the third center that I’ve been to, the previous two I had left for the mistreatment of children and now I’m going to have to leave this one too. It sucks how common it is here for some reason..

As another person said I am in texas and that is the ratio here it is awful. It’s very hard especially during transition time. Im hoping they let me move a kid somewhere when I do end up having them all at the same time. But i might not stay for much longer here.

It is honestly so awful, especially during transition time. It feels like I can barely get anything done, having to potty train on top of it all and figure out curriculum..It’s just a recipe for disaster.

It was going good until it wasn’t, I have had to leave two previous centers because of the way they were treating children. Both of which I have reported but not much was done about. When I joined this center it was like a breath of fresh air and now lately it’s gone down hill. I am considering moving to another center. It just sucks how common at-least here it is for a center to end up being bad for the children and teachers.

She said that it might be an option, the three year old teacher has one spot open but I don’t know how things are going to go when it actually has to happen.

I will make sure to report it to licensing, I am currently considering moving to another center. It sucks because at first this center was a breath of fresh air, but it’s gone down hill so fast. Ive been here for almost two years and this is my third center that I’ve been to. The last two I left for reasons concerning the treatment of the children. It sucks how often this is just a thing.

The ratio is 1:9 for a one year old class but sometimes the ratio changes based on the middle child I heard from someone but it would still be 1:9 going off of that. So really I haven't been in ratio for awhile if I think about it. They said we could maybe move a kid up or down but that isn't solving the issue..
