I'm so frustrated with my son's daycare right now. We switched from our old provider because she was unreliable and started taking unlimited sick days with pay when she was pregnant. We switched in July and ever since then, our daycare lady has had nothing but problems with Jaxson. He doesn't like to nap for her and it's hit or miss if he'll nap. She puts him down at 1:15/1:30 everyday which in my opinion is way too late, because he usually naps around 12:15/12:30 at home but that's they're lunch time. She told me she couldn't change the whole schedule just for him.

He's also been hit or miss with naps lately and I told her he might be transitioning out of naps. She's like well that'd be fine if he played quietly but he won't. Which is BS because he plays quietly at home the majority of the time. My sister in law who watched him also said he played quietly for her. And half her daycare kids dropped naps at 2.

She wants him to lay quietly in his pack n play until 3:30 everyday but he screams and cries and wants out. Of course a 2 year old is going to want out...he's 2. I asked if she could try putting him with the other kids to sleep and this was her response...

She texts me EVERY SINGLE DAY when I'm at work about how he's telling her no, or crying or screaming and waking the other kids up. I can't do anything about it when I'm working! That's what I'm paying HER for. To watch my child.

I finally asked her yesterday if she felt like Jaxson wasn't a good fit there. She responded and said "I don't tell you these things to complain or because I don't want him here. I just think open honest communication is truly beneficial for both the parents and the child."

I'm just at a loss. It feels like she's complaining. Shes asking me for tips and I've given her the same answers every single time. I don't know what's wrong with him when I'm not there. Maybe it's because he's two?? I feel like she has unrealistic expectations for a 2 year old. She also wants him to be quiet and whisper in the mornings because her kid is still asleep when he gets there. She asked me if I could work with him on whispering, which we do. But again...he's two.

Ugh. I hate daycare so much.
