Would this upset you? (daycare related)
Also, always being disgruntled after a certain teacher is a red flag.

Absolutely I'd be fucking pissed. Besides having two of my own kids, I've worked child care forever and always knew to take a head count before leaving an area. Once, I because a certified child care worker as an adult, I checked even more. Every 10-15 we kept s check on our sheet and I would randomly count the kids as they got picked up one by one even if it was before the check point time and if a child was in the bathroom, I knew it. Smh.

We are taught when working for a program, a child that young is never to be out of our eyesight. If we stand outside the door because a parent insists in privacy, we leave a part of our body (like our foot or hand) by the door to reassure the child of our presence. I would still be upset if she had made my child feel completely alone at just 3.5. I was the head classroom director for 3 hour pre-k after school program of 16 kids.

It's small; aftercare is usually only a handful of kids. My guess is that she was outside the door somewhere, but that he didn't know it. She should have gone in with him, especially bc he is just learning. Also, it sounds like it was the grownup bathroom, not a classroom one :(

Honestly? I would like this teacher to not be here anymore.

Obviously something is not right. Your ds is telling you this with his behavior and it sounds like your mommy intuition is telling you as well. I would first try to have him removed from her care whether he is put with another worker or you move him altogether. Just remember he is 3 what can a 3 year old do about his daycare? What can he do? All he has is his words and his behavior and clearly she scares him so it is less likely he will talk about it.
i had my dd at a different daycare and she loved the morning teachers... the afternoon ones (unless it was her auntie who worked there until recently) she hated... she would have more tantrums at home.... they wouldnt feed her dinner if she was there at 6pm like all the other kids, and what did it for me is she was bit 2 times in 2 days back to back and there was only 1 teacher in the room and it was during potty time (which means there has to be 2 teachers). the daycare was like oh well kids bite.... and she might have provoked them... i watched the tape.. first time my dd was just sitting there when the kid bit her arm! the second was her face. both times my dd did nothing... i pulled her out of there and have her in a new daycare (my ex hates bc its a christian daycare and they have "church" every wed. but idc) and she loves it... tantrums still happen but shes 2 and we just found out shes autistic.... but she loves the teachers...so much that she kissed one of them goodbye the other day on the cheek lol... and they all love her. i couldnt be happier getting her out of the other daycare and into this one. trust ur mommy gut

I sent the director an email tonight, and told her I want to discuss it further tomorrow.
I do know that during the days that this teacher isn't there, he is totally fine in the evenings.
Quoting crescentstar2:my youngest is in preschool, he loves the teacher but the lady that takes care of the kids in the daycare part he didn't like. I thought she was just very stern one day I saw something I didn't like and I talked to the owner and sense then the other lady has made a 180. I'd talk to them as maybe they don't see it
The other issue is that I am about to have a baby, and he will be ensured a slot in this school (wait lists for babies in this city are months long)

It may be time to move him. Too bad, bc I love his morning class.

I feel torn both ways because I have had the privilage of assisting in a really great preschool so when I imagine a child saying that from MY preschool I know it would be absurd. However, I know if MY dd were to come home and tell me that as a mother I would be really bothered.
I would definitely talk about it to the teacher's but don't go in there looking for a fight without hearing their story.

I would be talking to someone and finding WTF is going on.
