Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hi, My son started daycare at 4 months (he is now 5) and Emerence started at the same daycare when she was 3 months old and just 8 lbs. The staff was great and very attentive to any concerns I had. They also have very low turnover and we have been there since was 4 months old so the same people who took care of my son take care of my daughter. Where my kids go I send their food so there is no worry about what is being served. On Mondays they stay late (until 5:30 - my husband usually picks them up at 3:45) and my daughters room (the 16 mo - 26 mo room) has snack at 9, lunch at 11:30, snack at 3. I asked and they served her an extra snack at 4;30 on those days she had a late pickup. She also can ask if she wants more to drink etc. My daughter's OT also comes in and does feeding therapy 2x a month during her lunch at daycare. However, every daycare is different. Just tell them what you want and they should want to do it for you. Good luck! , mom to , 5 and Emerence, Queen Bee, 22 mo > > I'm going to be starting the twins in day care next week.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi le, When first went into a daycare situation she was 3 she went for a half a day and I allowed her to stay and have " lunch " with the kids. Not knowing she was RSS I packed a couple of snacks in her lunch bag and when I picked her up and dropped her to my mom's she would actually eat lunch there. likes to eat soup for lunch so I didn't send in soup because I didn't want to send in a bib and all that. I would definitely make them aware of the situation and maybe make up snacks for different times of the day and this way you can know whether or not they are giving Coby his snakcs. B 5 RSS and Kelli 2 1/2 Non RSS le wrote: I'm going to be starting the twins in day care next week. They have always been home with me so this is a huge step. Here are my questions for those of you that have had 2 yr olds in day care centers: 1) Did they allow your child to have a cup with them all day? Coby still gets most of his cals from his milk. 2) How often did they offer smacks and did they eat them in the room with the other kids? 3) Did your child eat their lunches? Did they have substitute meals for things your child didn't like? Any other helpful hints would be greatly appriciated! Thanks, le, mom to: Shye 10, Brock 8, and Coby(rss) & Carlee 2 --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
