Sorry Jeepgirl, hijacked the thread. I dont know why parents do that, perhaps they want them to be around new kids and get the feel of how school is different than being in a daycare home? KWIM? Not that its right or not that you are not doing just as good if not better than the preschool, just a thought on why maybe they choose to take them to a preschool. I dont know how your preschools are there, but here they can go to the public school and get it for free half day, everyday.Comment

It's okay, you all made me laugh!!! Thats the thing, both parents are sending their children to a "daycare center" in my area...so it is no different from what I teach...But maybe thats it, they just want their children to meet other children...I do my best and it makes me feel unappreciated of what I went to school for and what I teach their children...
IMO...I worked in daycare centers for 3 years and the things that I have seen drove me absolutely crazy..When I do decide to have children I honestly don't think I want my child in a daycare center...If I am still doing my In Home Child Care I will care for them and teach them. If I have changed career paths by then I would prefer them be in a home setting...Comment

OMG!! that is too funny!!!.....one summer my DH and our 2 kids took a little trip down south. I had never been there before and my DH had started telling me all about that movie (which I had never seen before) and he had me really freaked out...you know being a yankee and all, plus we had small kids with us and he made it all sound so scary...so anyways we started heading up to Chimney Rock so we can take a look and I realize I have no film in my camera so we stop at this little mom N pop store.
I head in and I see this guy standing by the clerk and he is wearing overalls and no shirt and has no shoes on either. I get my film and start to pay when I hear this guy go "Why that's a mighty purdy....." and that is all I heard! I left that store so fast!! I didn't get film and I have NO idea what he was saying but that was enough for me......
so I saw Chimney Rock but I can't prove it b/c I didn't have any film.
Sorry Jeepgirl...this is waaaay off the thread topic. I am sorry, but Catherder just started me remembering a family trip.....sorry.Comment

Are you licensed as a family child careor as a pre-school? Where I live that explains the difference. People sem to be willing to pay for the correct label but not the actual service provided.
I have kids that come and go throughout the day for different recreational activities such as swimming lessons and dance lessons and such and they still pay for their space, even if they aren't in it...kwim?
You also have the advantage because you have seen both sides...home and center and the parents haven't so they may not be aware of all the things going on in the centers you are referring to. I would personally just do what you do, explain what you do during the interview and expect to be paid accordingly.Comment

I had a southern experience as well... when I graduated HS I decided to drive from CA to Miami still not sure why, but I can say it was an adventure of a life time...
I went to a liquor store in lousiana I asked where I could get a cup for the soda fountain.(coke) The lady said we dont sell soda here... I said yes you do I see it right there... she said mam we dont sell soda here, try the grocery store..... so I was getting really frustrated and I said well then what is this, as I pointed to the soad machine. She said thats pop do you want some. UUUMMM yes thats what i have been asking from this whole time.... so after that I asked her how to get back on the freeway, she says we aint got one...........WTH.... finally after a bit of conversing she says oh you mean the highway 10................YES lady the freeway......... she ended up getting really mad at me becuase I kept finishing her sentences... i was young and impatient, but she ended up kicking me out of the store....lmao
love the difference from coast to coast and everything in betweenComment

Yep.... if you ever come back just ask for a Coke. They will ask you what flavor and THEN you say what brand of soda you want... love it...

Preschool in daycare
I teach preschool to my age 2 and ups and i also have parents that talk about putting there kids in preschool. I charge $150 wk fulltime and preschool's no extra charge. I find myself dumbfounded when a mom talks about putting lil ____ in preschool at age 4 and paying lots more then what they are paying here and I do just as much with the kids here then they will get at a bigger center and my ratio adult to child is way better too. IDK I guess it kinda insults me, like Im not doing a good enough job.....
I'm a firm believer in allowing kids to be kids and not pushing them, kids all learn at thier own paces no matter the resources or money paid for fancy schools. I have taught plenty of kids up until kinder registration and they have all done well.
Like Nanny I have a min requirment of 3 days a week whether parents use the 3 days they still pay and the pt rate is more then the ft daily rate. I have to make up for the 2 days I lose for that space. I currently dont take anymore pt kids I have 2 right now and lose out $ with those empty days. And filling a 2 day a week slot is impossible, at least here.Comment

I have sold the one on one vs preschool for my preschool program.. I save work and videos to show the parents that their 3yr old can write their name and so on and so on. Children will NOT have one on one lessons in a preschool and will not have this advantage.Comment
