It's Only Preschool....Should it bother me??
So here is my dilemma....my 4 yr old has been going to the same preschool for about a year now and she really loves it. I didn't want a preschool/daycare for my child to go to so my choices in the Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills area was limited. I found a preschool through word of mouth from my moms group and everyone I talked to only had positive things to say about it. Like I said before, my daughter has loved it from day one and this June she will be going into Pre K and going 3 days per week. My dilemma is...this is an in home preschool. The lady who runs it also has one other teacher so that the ratio will be 6 to 1. Lately when I have been dropping her off there has been a couple of times when her teacher hasn't been there and she had a parent helping out for awhile. After inquiring where her teacher was I have been told a couple of times that she went to get her hair done, or she decided to work in the house today, or she is out shopping. I don't know why, but I have a problem with this....I am paying her to teach my child not someone else. Although I know that the other teacher that she has working for her is very good...shouldn't she be teaching the kids like I am paying her to. Am I wrong that this bothers me???? Should I not be concerned about it as long as she is learning and having fun and the ratio doesn't change...I mean it is only preschool.

this is still happening? i remember you having a similar blog entry months ago. has anyone said anything to her about the lack of structure? or is everyone too scared to lose their spot in the program? aren't there requirements for state accreditation about ratios and the like? check out the CA DSS website for information: http://ccl.dss.cahwnet.gov/... and you can even find other licensed programs locally...

I remember you bringing this up before as well.
My first thought is did you ever talk to the woman? That would be my obvious suggestion.
