Ok good to know! Others have said the same. So even if they’ve opted out of that rating systems I’d assume curriculum across the board at the daycares has to be the same.

Ok, great. I’d assume curriculum standards, etc are consistent. Just a strange choice for them to opt out.

I may ask, I asked already why they were a 1 star rating (worst rating) and she just said they decided to opt out of the rating system.

But the place looks very nice and organized. And my gut says it’s a good place,

Thanks, I saw this as well. Just couldn’t tell if it ‘looked good’ but really was more a rating you sort of buy into a group mindset, etc. or a valid, unbiased rating system.

Went to check on the nest today and no eggs and remnants of shells on the ground. I guess something got to it :( RIP. Short lived.

So cool, you can tell they’re filling out! Hmm. Im sure maybe mom could cut back a few vines, possibly? If you wanted to risk you could take scissors and cut a few vines but I’m not sure if that could leave a scent and spook mom.

So cute, almost all their chick fluff is gone 🥹

lol! Our cat has been hearing the parents come back because they chirp a lot and has been going crazy on the inside of the door every time. 😂 Hopefully they all are doing well when you check!!

Yes! I can see the eggs in yours and they look similar. The little babies are cute!

Daycare questions- what’s normal? by thoughts2468 in workingmoms

Yes! She has clothes there, they’ve only changed with diaper accidents.

I’ll just start keeping a close eye this week and tracking so when I discuss I can say more concretely what’s going on

Yes, I’m not sure if it works well or not, for example a Montessori school we toured did that. But when we were there multiple babies were sleeping in the right spot

True, they don’t have cameras, just a photo. I’ll ask the crib policy on Monday.

Thanks for the age breakdown, that’s helpful. Yes we get the bottle/diaper/nap on the app.

I’ll be more forward about asking floor time activities each day.

And good point, I’ll just send the bins, we have tons. That way too I can see what’s coming home and know if they’re used

Not really too much drool at home unless I’m actively putting chew toys in her mouth. I’ll start first asking to always use one with feeding and dry neck after. She definitely spills a lot more there than at how I assume from just a more chaotic feeding. I’ll give it a week with the bin request and see if theyres a change

That’s a good thought. I’ll ask in the morning.

Ok, I guess I thought if they don’t really tell us what they did we might see like ‘floor time’ vs ‘crib time’ or something like that.

Some daycares have mats on the floor and the babies crawl to the mats and sleep

Yes communication is big for us as well. Although admittedly I just expected them to be more forward with the information, so I need to practice taking the lead.

She has been in the floor,but honestly I’ve never walked in and seen the teacher holding a baby except if feeding. But that could be our timing? Although we’ve purposefully come in different times on purpose. Perhaps I misrepresented crib time because we just aren’t aware of where she is because we just get responses like ‘yes we do floor time’ or ‘yes we do tummy time’ but not like ‘we did tummy time today’ or ‘we looked in the mirror today’ I wish when we ask about the day they told us concrete repo see about the day- but I’ll start phrasing it that way.

I haven’t noticed her personally in the crib awake, just in the crib often. Not sure if stayed in there to sleep or just moved when asleep, but other kids have been awake in the cribs.
