Really sad and immature. Just another reason why I refuse to put my kids in daycare.

I had to put my son in daycare and i would have been disgusted if i received this from my kids daycare. I think we are all (for the most part) trying to do whats best for our children and raise good little humans. It makes me want to cry that she wrote a sweet note to her child which she wanted the daycare provider to read to him to make him smile and have a good day and instead the teacher was disrespectful and cruel and makes me wonder what she may have been saying to these poor children

I'm sure there's good Daycares out there but the majority just sit back on their phones and look up from time to time to try and make sure no one is actively dying. They mostly care only about the money coming in and not the children.

Not everyone has that choice.

The teacher that sent reply message was wrong. But so was the mother that sent along the original note.

The child's mother needs to realize that teachers have to deal with around 30 children each day. She or he doesn't have time to read little Jonny or Jane love notes from their mommy's or daddy's.

I agree that mom's note was silly and needless but would have ignored it, not take effort to respond.

PC ALERT PC ALERT!!!!!

It's child care, NOT day care.




Words matter: ‘day care’ vs. ‘child care’

many providers feel the term “day care” reduces their role to babysitters: keeping kids safe, but not necessarily providing them with intellectual and emotional development....it’s not ‘day care,’ days take care of themselves

Finding quality child care is hard. Even if you find a good one, staff turnover and priorities shift, such that you are back at square one looking for a new place.

Honestly? My kids were WAY better off in a child care center than they were at home with dad (and to be clear, my husband is a great dad, but 100% kid duty is not for him).

Still doesn't justify the response she wrote on the note. Trashy and uncalled for. If that were my kid, I would've walked in there and dumped a box of donuts on her desk, and would've said, "YOU FIRST SWEETHEART!!"

I think it is uncalled for to terminate the worker.
