My roommates loved Grandma's Boy.

As a parent, what can I look for in my daycare center to know that it is a quality place? It's a franchise center and I absolutely love it. My daughter is very happy to go to "school" and she's learned so much.

Speaking with other parents and friends who have worked at daycare centers, they seem to think that all centers are terrible places. This shocks me because we love our center so much! So my question is, what would be the warning signs I should look for that a center is subpar?

This is great, thank you so much. Our daycare does seem to tick all the boxes. The main teachers have been working there for a long time, her infant teacher has been there 25 years! I do notice that when they need to replace a helper (each head teacher has a few assistants depending on class size) they sometimes will hire someone and then they'll leave right away and someone new will come in. This has happened twice in the last 6 months. I have to wonder if this is because the girls don't like working at a daycare or if the environment is a bad one.

My daughter is almost 2 and is in the toddler room. Ratio is always 1 adult to 4 children. I believe that is law in Michigan.

They do tons of fun activities and they give out a calendar at the beginning of the month to let us know what they are. This month I'm going to go in and read a story to her classroom. Is that the type of thing you would do in your classroom?

I am reading every word of your AMA :)
