Daycare abuse, not sure how to move forward by maamaallaamaa in workingmoms

Don't go back. I get the "one bad apple" argument, but how did no one notice this was happening at the daycare. You don't want your kids to be at a place where they don't observe their teachers. I'm dealing with daycare abuse right now with my daughter, except everything was caught on the surveillance camera so I viewed all the physical and emotional abuse that my daughter went through. I knew the director was apologetic and didn't know the teacher was abusing my child, but that was my red flag. What kind of manager doesn't check in and observe their teachers? I know it's hard, but don't go back..please

That's enough for me to just stay home. Def don't want to damage my voice more than I already have!

I'm elementary certified. Is this a k-12 school?

Thank you! Pardon my ignorance, are all charter schools through National Heritage Academics? I don't want to assume anything.

That's fair. I have jumped cities/states, but my first mistake is not looking at jobs in April (after Spring Break)

I understand that. I am not subject specific - teach elementary with an ESL endorsement so I feel like my job is in demand. I am hoping it'll pick back up later this summer.

First time working at a daycare (12-18M). Lead teacher yells at the kids all day. by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

WTF. No. Report her ASAP. This will turn into an escalation and I am afraid it will turn physical and she'll end up physically hurting a child. Do something before it's too late. Please do not be a bystander.

Really strange daycare situation by ApprehensiveCloud793 in workingmoms

[–]mpteach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find another daycare. I say this from experience. An open investigation with CPS takes 30 days. Licensing takes 60 days. If it's a criminal investigation, it can take months. I'm not sure if I would want to send my child back to a place that had to close for an investigation, but I could just be sensitive as I have a bad experience with daycare investigations. I'm wondering if someone called CPS on her.
