DC director wants to meet

[redheadbaker]

NCEPR, obviously.

I filed the complaint online last night, and called half a dozen daycares this morning, one of which just had a spot open, seeing the place Thursday.

Meanwhile, new director emails us this morning, saying we seem unhappy with the school (I never addressed the unattended kids with her).

Do I bother meeting? DS loves his teachers, it's convenient to home ... but I don't know if I can trust them.

FI leads a social group for his students after school today until 7, and leaves for a conference tomorrow thru Friday. If I wait til next week to meet, I lose the spot at the other daycare.

I would meet with her. at the very least, you can make it clear why you are leaving.

I didn't respond in the other thread but I was reading it, and yeah. if they weren't feeding my son I'd pull him out of there.

As long as it's not a giant hassle, meet with her sans DH, even if you think you'll jump ship. consider it a service to all the other kids there so she knows what she's screwing up exactly.

I guess I'd be inclined to schedule some time to either meet or talk on the phone to explain why you left (because it seems like a pretty big deal not to be feeding the kids or notifying the parents of the change!), but I don't think you need to contort your schedule to make it work. So, if you like the new day care on Thursday, I'd say it's fine to go ahead and enroll even if you haven't yet had time to meet with the current day care director.

Fi does 90% of the drop off and pick up, so I think he should be there -- he sees more than me.

In light of FI not being able to make it and you pulling your kid, I would just type an email back to her outlining the problems you/he saw or see if she can do a phone chat at night. She should know what problems there are even if you aren't staying. I also wouldn't put on hold going to another center, just to do what would be your exit interview, if you think there is nothing she can say to make it right.

I emailed back and let her know when I'd be in to pick up DS this week and that I'd stop in her office one of those times.

And she's sealing the deal with a response that does she only skimmed my email. Does it take THAT long to read 2 short sentences?

She seems completely incompetent.

Although the situation is obviously stressful, I do love it when I make a difficult decision that impacts another person and then the other person makes it very clear in his/her follow-ups that I made the right decision.

I assume there are owners of the center? I would honestly meet with or call them to let them know what the reasons for leaving are.

I read the other thread as well. Sorry you have to go through this crap!

I would definitely meet with her, but also put everything in writing, including the things your FI described to you.

Your leaving has nothing to do w/ meeting with her. If you like the other center, move DS. But I'd still meet with her - I do think she needs to fully understand the MANY issues you have. And I also agree- you need to tell the owners. They may actually be clueless to what she's doing.
