On more than 3 occasions I found my child with dangerous objects in the mouth - any of which should NOT have been there under ANY circumstances IE: shredded wood from mulch in the playground (yes - they use mulch for a floor material) a large crayon which was chewed long enough to turn teeth green, and finally a small broken light bulb IN MY BABY'S MOUTH! The 3rd GLASS object was the last straw although I should have pulled the child immediately on the first offense. No one is perfect and there is no harder job than watching/mananging children however - if you have a child that is gregarious & explores the world, I wouln't recommend this facility - they are careless in the little details that keeps children safe IMHO. Imagine walking in to pick your child up and finding chewed broken glass in your baby's mouth? There's more - incident reports aplenty ( baby falling hitting head, cuts, bruises etc) and the girl who was watching these kids is still working there today. 12-20-2010 ...read more
