To be honest, I'd switch her.

I am a provider and I've never equated a dirty face or clothes with having a fun day. :confused:
I am very big on sending every child home sparkling clean. We wash hands, faces, feet (if needed), and comb hair. If their clothes are overly dirty, we change them. With all of the effort we put into seding them home clean, there are times when I notice a parent scraping cereal or gunk off of their child's face.
So... I certainly wouldn't judge a daycare by a tiny bit of dirt here and there.
As far as biting - it happens. If it excessive, I would move my child.
I don't feel a 10 month old should hold their own bottle. If the baby WANTS to hold their own bottle - he/she should still be held and the amount they drink monitored.Comment

I think bottle-holding depends on the child. I have never had to hold a 10 month old's bottle- my own kids or my daycare kids, but all of the kids I have had so far always were able to drink their own bottles completely with no issues. Tey were also all on solids so only took 1 bottle every 3-3.5 hours or so.
I also put bibs on all of the kids, but sometimes thei get ripped off and things happen. I do my best to clean them up, but I only change their outfit if they are completely soaked/etc. I always wash their face and hands after every meal and before pick up. Most of the days, the kids go home mostly clean, unless we had a big day outside. On the days that the kids have dirt all over their clothes- those are usually the days the kids had the most fun. (the walkers and up).
I would expect a 10 month old to have a clean face and hands. I would mention that you would appreciate a bib, but if all else is okay I wouldn't worry too much about a dirty shirt. 2 biting incidents in a week, however, is unacceptable. It can happen occasionally, but especially if the same child is the biter- I woul be concerned that the biter is not being supervised enough. How old are the children in your child's room?Comment
