Kyle Starts a NEW Daycare

Kyle started his new daycare. When we got out of the car at the new daycare the kids were outside playing one little boy asked Kyle what he had in his hand, Kyle said "It's a car" the little boy says I want to be your friend. We aren't even in the door yet for the first day and this is happening.
I'm thrilled beyond belief, with the director is one of the most compassionate, kind hearted women I have ever met. I've only known her for a week but my son couldn't stop talking about her when he got home. (something he NEVER did at the other daycare). When we got home Kyle came running into the house looking for Grammy. He is much happier, he is a different little man now that he's not at the hell hole anymore.

Lesson I learned as a parent--my son's behavioral issues were his way of telling me "Mom I'm not happy get me out of here" I will be a much better listener going forward. That is my solemn promise to myself and my son.



The reason's for the quick move from one daycare to another.
I made a snap decision last week to pull my one and only son from the daycare he was in and put him a new daycare. Many things let up to my decision ranging from rules suddenly being enforced that should have been enforced since Kyle started there back in December of 2006. To one of the teachers playing favorites because her daughter is in the same classroom and when she cries "I miss my daddy" " I want my daddy" the mother/teacher lets her daughter use her cell phone to call her daddy so that she will calm down. This is fair to the rest of kids because???????..
Kyle comes home one day saying I miss my daddy I need your phone to call him. WOW! I'm in shock over this because he never mentions his dad that much. After about a month or so he's still saying this (even said he missed his brother...um hello he doesn't have a brother) I guess my words fell on deaf ears when I talked to the director of the daycare and I feel ( can't be positive) the child is still being allowed to do this. I feel this is very insensitive to the other children who may not have the other parent in their life.
Moving on to the most important reason of all. Kyle got bit in that back by another child ok fine it happens once not super excited about it move on let it go. 2 weeks later I get to daycare to be greeted at the gate by his teacher. "You are going to be sooo mad" she says to me I'm thinking um...no I'm not but ok. Then I wanted to know what happened. She proceeds to tell me "the kids were playing in the classroom when Kyle was bugging another child and he had it coming to him but, he got bit in the face" When he came out of the gate (he saw me standing there) I wanted to rip someone's head off. What do you mean my kid "had it coming" this was not just in the face this was right below his eye. NO CHILD DESERVES THIS! The director/owner of the day care comes out of her office kind of chuckling saying something like ouch that looks like it hurts buddy. My blood is boiling by this point but I remained calm I'm not going to explode on anyone as there are kids around.
I find out after talking to my son (yes he can tell what happened) it's the same child who bit him the first time. WTF?!! are they not going to to do anything about this. OH HELL NO that child is still enrolled in the day care with children in the classroom that can't even speak yet they just turned a year old...the biter is 2 1/2-3yrs old I believe. Approx. 2 weeks ago this same child bit a teacher. Still this child is still enrolled in the daycare. I even heard the Dad of this little girl make joke about the muzzle he brought in for his daughter. Again WTF? are you thinking this isn't funny this is a serious issue. You child isn't getting bit so I guess it's ok right?
Kyle went to daycare one last time I couldn't get home fast enough to pick him up and get him out of that hell hole. I wrote a letter to the daycare explaining my reasons for leaving along with my last payment. Not before making a call to the WA State Licensing Dept to get some information, after I got my questions answered I filed a complaint with them to investigate the daycare.
After collecting Kyle and his belongings from daycare we got home settled in all is finally well. Until the director called me to find out what was going on. (The private letter I'd written was opened and read to her over the phone) I found this extremely unprofessional but ok she's knows and she's calling me to hear my side. LOL...in a nutshell she thinks it's perfectly normal for the child to be biting kids...that's a normal way for them to communicate when they can't talk to each other. Even said she was there the day Kyle got bit in the face and I thought it was ok. That I said oh well it is what it is. OMG! are you kidding me. Nothing I can do change that he's already been bit but HELL NO I DON'T THINK IT'S OK.
When I explained to her, Kyle got physically sick from the stress of this she busted up laughing at me and said "you should give Kyle some of the medication you are on (lol if she only knew I'm not on any ha ha I just laugh) because your whole family is whacked" then hung up on me. I was shocked but honestly not surprised. I called her right back only to get her voice mail. I left her message stating she has a LOT of nerve saying that about my son and told her she was very rude and unprofessional. I called the daycare to confirm she was NOT at the daycare.


Thanks for reading.

Off to a good start

I was talking to a new friend who has become very near and dear to me very quickly. He suggested I blog my thoughts, feelings, etc.
So, here I am sharing with everyone in cyber space all about ME. I really have nothing to hide my life has always been an open book, even thought about writing a one to share my life experiences with people.
I've said this to a few people when it comes to getting to know me, you should never judge a book by it's cover. Open me up read a few pages, I know you won't want to put me down. Ha ha never a dull moment in my life. Whether it be my true life experiences or my imagination working up a good story. You will scratch your head, then ask yourself....did that really happen? I look forward to your comments, questions, blah blah.
