The price you may pay while your child is in daycare!!

Stop!! Look!! and Read!!

Did you ever wonder if you child's daycare teacher was really as nice as she seem to be?

Have you ever thought that your child could be getting mistreated or neglected in daycare?

Does your child seem irritated after coming home from daycare?

Do you feel you do not see any signs of abuse but the thought still crosses your mind?

Do you have a child with behavior problems or just does not listen when they are told? How do you think your child's teacher handle your child?

Which ever way you answered the above questions, yes or no you should be aware that this could be happening to your child, and you will never know unless you know what signs to look for.

Did you ever wonder if your child's daycare teacher was really as nice as she seemed? Most of the time when you meet the teacher they will put on this obviously fake front as if they will be the best thing that ever happened to your child. This may occur for a number of reasons but one reason is, the center is probably low on enrollment. When you arrive at the daycare center to pick up your child the teacher will most likely tell you, your child did a wonder job today it is a pleasure to have them here! But in reality ten minutes before you showed up he was just yanked around the classroom because he threw his snack on the floor. But you will never know because that yank did not leave a bruise, and this time it did not cause the child's arm to come out of socket. Most of the time it takes for a child to be seriously injured for a parent to know that their child is being abused at daycare.


Have you ever thought your child was being mistreated or being neglected while in daycare? Most of the time this is the case? It may be a shock to you but it is true. Why? First the pay is way less than it should be. Think about it, people don't want to work hard when they are getting paid decent money. But that is just a portion of it, another reason you you should take in consideration that your child is probably getting neglected or mistreated is the fact that you do not have to be skilled or trained to become a daycare center teacher and that is a problem because if you don't have any other training in this field you would need to at least be trained mentally on how to react to the different situations you encounter when you are the caring for children. Being a daycare teacher is a hard job. Here is a scenario: When on a job other than childcare like fast food an employee may get frustrated because the register drawer may be stuck with a line full of customers so out of anger the employee may hit the drawer to make it close, well in daycare what or who do you think the employees take their anger out on? The answer YOUR CHILD!


Does your child seem irritated after coming home from daycare? Most of the time they will be irritated because they are exhausted. The next question is, why are they exhausted? Your child could be exhausted for a number of reasons, and some of the reasons will be a shock to parents. One reason is they are thirsty and hungry. Snack time is mostly around 3pm, if you are a parent that picks your child up at 5pm or 6pm that's three to four hours that your child will have to wait for their next meal or more, if you have to go home and prepare dinner. Nutrition facts states that children should be offered three meals and two snacks a day. Ever notice, even middle and high school children, when they come come from school either: A. they raid the refrigerator for food, and act as if they have not had a meal in decades B. the first question they are going to ask is, "Mom can you fix me something to eat" ? The difference with older children is they can prepare their own meals, a younger child has to ask, and in some cases they can not talk so they become irritated until their needs are meet. Another reason your child may be irritated after coming home from daycare is, they simply had a bad day. I will give you a little scenario here: You (the parent) may be at work and for some reason you are just having a bad day. You feel bothered and you your self feel irritated. You can not stay focused, and all you can think about is leaving work, going pick up your child, and going home. Your child on the other end is the one that is sending you these vibes. The moments you (the parent) feel the most distress at work could be the same moment your child is being mistreated. Here is an example: You may, out of no where, make a sound or sign as if you are sick of the world. That moment could have been the moment your child was slammed in a chair by their teacher or some other act of mistreatment. When a child is being handled and treated inappropriately all day at daycare they tend to remain irritated when they get home. It takes great measures for you to get them happy and acting themselves again especially if this happens often.

Do you feel like you don't see any signs of abuse, but the thought still crosses your mind? Most of the time you will not see your child being abused.Think about it, the abuser ( the childcare provider) does not want to serve jail time so they will be very discreet when they strike. What should be a wake up call to the parents, such as there child being irritated everyday, is defined by the provider as normal behavior after being in daycare all day, which in most cases is not the truth.

Do you have a child with behavior problems or just does not listen when they are told to? How do you think you child's teacher handle your child? First ask yourself how do you handle your child's behavior? Do you become frustrated? Do you feel you do not know what else to do about your child's behavior? Well neither does your childcare provider that did not have to go through school or real training to deal with this type of situation. They become aggravated and they do not have the same will power that a person has with there own child. So they take there anger out on the child, without thinking, they believe if they pinch the child or handle them rough the child will be afraid of them and will not behave the way they did again. Most daycare center teachers are not equipped to handle a child with behavior problems and that is a serious problem. A lot of teachers feel the parents know that there child has behavior problems and the parents do not want to deal their own child, so they want to send them to daycare and make the teachers deal with it. A child that does not always listen are that has behavior problems is more prone to get abused in daycare. If you have a child in daycare with behavior problems you should always look out for signs of abuse or misconduct. If you are a parent that always denies the fact that your child has a behavior problem you need to wake up, face the fact,and do something about it because your child is probably being abused right now.


Enrolling your child in daycare is a great idea, if you know what to look for when choosing the
right daycare center. You should first ask yourself, " Why am I putting my child in daycare"? The most popular answers would be, I am a single parent with a full-time job, and I have no one else to keep my child. Then there are parents that want their child to learn to play together with other kids, or even just be in the company of other children. There are also parents that want their child to begin preparing for elementary school. For whatever the reason you chose or choosing to put your child in a childcare facility you should find a place that will accommodate the reason you want them there. And be sure to develop a good relationship with the provider of your child.
