I have toured this facility and am not impressed with the set up. I am surprised not to see more reviews about it. All of the rooms that hold the same age are connected in the back with doorway sized openings. For instance, all 5 of their toddler rooms are connected. I wouldn't find this odd, however this facility allows the children to go between the rooms freely. With 8 children in a room, that means 40 toddlers are going from one end of the rooms to the other end. This raises so many concerns! Supervision being the number one. How do they keep the correct amount of teachers in the room? How do they follow the appropriate room sizes? (State requires a certain amount of square footage per child in a room. So a toddler room that can hold 8 children should only ever have 8 children in it. With children going from room to room, how are they making sure that 10 children don't end up in one room?) How can the one teacher keep track of her four toddlers if they split up into different rooms?
From working in centers, I would also be nervous about the teachers being more concerned about visiting eachother instead of keeping track of their kids.
Maybe the management has the man power to keep an eye on the rooms and make sure the concerns aren't valid. However, with the amount of work management has to do, I would be very suprised if they did.
I would never be comfortable with this set up for my own child, and I am suprised so many families ARE okay with this.
