Our appointment is Monday night, so I will let you all know how it goes. 
Unfortunatly, mother's common sense has gone out the window. There is one mom at my daughter's DC that I cannot stand. Her son has been here for 2 years and she has never let him adjust to daycare in that time! She will tell him "if you have a bad day tell your teacher and I will come and get you, ok?"
I asked the teacher the other day if she has ever called his mom when he told her to and she said no, 
. Good for her! This mom also brings McDonald's pancakes every morning for her son. EVERY morning! So while my child is eating yogurt and fresh fruit, she sees he's eating junk food. One morning he was eating a freaking CUPCAKE!!!! FOR BREAKFAST!!! I asked the teacher if he was eating a cupcake and she said "his mom said it was a muffin." Her tone told me she knew it was a cupcake. I talked with the assistant director and she said she wished they were on the food program for that exact reason. Unfortunatly, the church board voted against it. Yup, people who don't even have kids, voted against having a food program. These same people voted to close the daycare. 
I want my kid to be a well adjusted member of society. I want her to be fine with me not there. She is very well adjusted. She's polite, doesn't hit, doesn't bite, and is very outgoing and talkative. I feel like I am doing something right. Why parents want to take the easy way out and not the best way is mind boggling to me. I want a healthy kid, physically and emotionally. This is why I loved her daycare so much. I really feel like her teachers helped me raise her for 2 years. That's what I am looking for in another provider. I want someone who will help me raise her. Someone who shares my values. After reading a lot of the posts on the forum by home daycare providers I feel like I can now find that with a smaller enviroment.
The funny thing is a while back I was going to quit my job to start a home daycare. I ended up not doing it because I loved my child's daycare so much and because my husband didn't think it was the right move for our family. I now wish I would have taken that leap.
