    Today was my 2 years and 9 months old daughter's discovery day, for only about 2.5 hours. I…read morereceived a voicemail from the teacher saying everything was going well and that she was doing great. When I arrived and spoke directly with her classroom teacher, she confirmed the same: my daughter struggled and cried at the beginning (which is very normal), then she relaxed, played with other children, followed directions, and participated in outdoor activities. I personally watched her playing with the other kids. However, I was shocked when the director told me they would not accept her because she "didn't adjust" and needed one-on-one attention, cuddling, and soothing, and that they are a group-teaching facility. This was very disappointing and confusing. The whole reason I enrolled my daughter in daycare is to help her adjust, learn that she is not the only child, and develop social skills appropriate for her age, especially since she has been home with me. It felt unfair to imply that I did something wrong by keeping my child at home longer. Toddlers are not supposed to come in as "ready-made" children who already know how to function perfectly in a group. That is literally what daycare is meant to help teach. Another daycare director just two blocks away told me that they usually need at least three weeks to determine whether a child truly cannot adjust. She also shared that in her 16 years of experience, she only turned away one child--and that was after a full week, not less than three hours. What made this even more disappointing is that the classroom teacher was positive and encouraging until I mentioned what the director had said. This experience felt unprofessional and inconsistent. To other parents: please enroll your children in a place that is willing to put in effort and truly support your child's development. From my experience, this facility seems to prefer only "easy" cases. I am disappointed, but thankful that this is not the only daycare in town. For my daughter, I would even change states if needed to find a place that respects her, supports her development, and does their job professionally. Open google reviews and read what parents wrote make sure you read all the reviews cause this is your child we are talking about
