Re: Childcare Nightmare!!!

Whilst I found Oscar Bears to be a really good place when both Zack and Maddie were very young I have to say that the pre school year is a little lacking. They were excellent with looking after the children and their general health and well being was well catered for. I just felt that in the final year they should be doing a bit of preparation for school. When Maddie was there she was the second oldest child there for a whole year and I felt that they didn't give her any challenges when she was so ready to go to school. Within six weeks of school she'd been challenged far more than a year at Oscar Bears and was moved rapidly up to the next class. With Zack we moved him out of Oscar Bears for his preschool year and he's being challenged and motivated every day.

So, I totally think you're in the right place for now but I think what I'm saying is that you shouldn't remain too loyal later on if it's better to move your child to a more challenging environment.
