DAYCARE SUCKS.

At daycare today I was told that when Avery moves up to the Toddler Room they don't want me coming to visit her on my lunch break anymore. That's fine, I know I can't see her in the middle of the day EVERY day FOREVER. They said it would disrupt the flow of the day and the routine that the ONE toddler teacher has. There are a ton of toddlers and they only have one person watching them all day. AND they said that if Avery was going to eat lunch from home (which she IS because their terrible lunch menu is franks & beans, french fries, cookies, microwaved fish sticks... and their fruit is canned and drenched in high fructose corn syrup, and their vegetables are canned with added salt... the list goes on) that she would have to eat alone in a high chair because the other kids at the table would steal and eat all of her home-food if no one was watching them. THEN WATCH THEM. They also said that if I wanted to come during my lunch break to see her that I could park where she couldn't see my car, come through the back door and watch through the window if she wasn't able to see me. WHAT?

Since she started at daycare there have been an ever-increasing number of things arise that I don't like about this place and today was just about the limit.

So, some major life changes are needed- Casey and I are going to frantically look for a new daycare before she has to move up to the toddler room (a matter of weeks) OR maybe I'll just quit for now and hang out with Avery all day, every day. Other options include stealing Aunt/Cousin Kelli as a live-in babysitter or Grammy quitting her job and moving to Georgia to watch her.
