Is my 2 year olds daycare going to kick him out?

My former nanny kiddo got kicked out of daycare and preschool 😬

This was my youngest when he was 2. Almost got kicked out of daycare, but we ended up switching to a different daycare that’s a better fit. Also made an appointment at the time with his ped and got him evaluated. It could be that the daycare isn’t a good fit and making an apt would be beneficial as well to address behaviors just in case. I understand how stressful and worrying it is though. It’ll get better. Good luck.

My baby girl is 2 and she hits and makes some mean faces sometimes. I find it silly when she does that at home but I have realized not everyone is gonna find that funny or silly. So I gotta stop that behavior.

Kids that age don’t know better and don’t mean any harm. But we gotta teach them to be nice and control their emotions by expressing them through words

I said no- I work in early ed so let me shed some light.

A GOOD high quality early ed center isn't going to disenroll a child for normal toddler behavior. I take it this is your 2nd born? VERY developmentally appropriate & normal 🤣❤️ however I would be curious how they are handling this. Are they going "OUCH, that makes me so sad, uh oh, gentle, gentle hands YAY! yes, show me gentle hands"

It is so crucial when working with 2 year Olds specifically to keep it short, simple & redirect to happy/ show them gentle hands. Hand over hand make your toddler stroke your arm gently and reward him ❤️ but first we identify ouch that hurts, that makes me sad 😔 xo

I could go on and on 🤣👋

If this behavior were to continue like 3 months, & still he is actively harming kids, he is throwing toys or tantrums in the room, he is destructive, nothing has worked- teachers have actively written observations on him to try and correct the behavior to no end then YES I can see why a disenroll meeting would take place

But you're talking like.. it would have to be life threatening/ hazardous for the other children. Not just 1x daily no offense.. like if he hurts kids or tries to 1x daily even 2 times but otherwise he's a good boy, he plays, he turns it around- that's unacceptable to disenroll a child & harassment on typical behavior of a toddler.

If this doesn't resolve in 1-3 months I'd bet he isn't connecting with his teachers/ they are likely a problem too in how they handle him. He may feel they are angry or upset but not nice to him- it's a huge balance. & id consider finding a better daycare low ratio / smaller

Omg I went through this exact thing but with biting! He was biting most days and I definitely got not only vibes but even actual talks from the staff - one time the owner was like, ‘the parents of a little girl he keeps biting are Livid, they say it’s just an absolute joke at this point’. It was MORTIFYING. He didn’t do it at home so like what could we do?? We had the talks, read the books. I was so scared they’d want to kick him out. Fast forward a few months at around 2.5 and he literally grew out of it overnight. We went from dreading pickup to ‘Jack’s had such a great day, he’s so polite and helpful, it would honestly be amazing if all the kids were like him’. I’m still in shock tbh. I don’t think they will kick him out and just know with consistency in behavior correction there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

What are you/they doing to address it?

So they’re admitting they aren’t able to provide proper supervision.😬
