It freaked me out. I know how you feel, my 2nd daycare interview went almost exactly like that, with the providers two kids getting all up on me and my little one, touching and being annoying.

I might just take you up on that. And I'll get to that meme someday :P Claudia - I know. Kurt told me about Laurie and that's what what running through my mind when the one girl with the runny nose tried to touch Sophia. Angel - Thanks. Maybe your mom could give me some momma bear lessons. Sometimes it's hard not to worry about what others think...even for me. Just a mom - I know the one in home day care doesn't represent them all, but that one really didn't feel right for me. And it's not that I thought there was abuse going on there. It was about the noise level, sanitation, and lack of space. Amy - Considering how many in home day cares there are I don't think abuse is running rampant in these small places. We only hear about the bad ones. Good daycare is just what is expected and it's not news when a good place exists. kimberly – Thank you. I might just take you up on that.

I definitely wouldn't want to leave my child there either, it's the stay at home daycares that I worry about the most really, you always see stories about the horrible things people do and most of the time it's the small daycares. The best one's i've observed and worked for in the past have been the larger businesses or church daycares. Even though i'm not religious there are some which do not make a fuss over that matter and do not have a heavily religious based atmosphere. Good luck with your search though it's definitely a tough one! OH NO!

My mom calls that being the mama bear...standing up for your beliefs in how you conduct you and your kid despite what family, friends or complete strangers think of you. She says it gets hard sometimes, but figures the kid and your piece of mind are more important than what anybody else thinks. And I'm with Kim.

God knows what they have. I don't meant to be nasty but my daughter Laura was in contact with a child, despite my intervention, that had strep throat. Laurie contacted it and it evolved into spinal meningitis. You can never be too careful. Who cares if they hate you at least your baby is safe. Do what you think is necessary to protect her. Erica,
