Yes! You need to bring it to their attention so that they can monitor the situation. There may have been something else going on BUT YES! Mention that so it can be looked into further. No other children should just be left to scream at the top their lungs like that bc she’s showing favoritism. They should correct that problem if it’s found to be the case.

I worked with that age group for many years. 1 teacher is allowed 4 infants(under 1) by themselves. If there were more than 4 in the classroom I would definitely be bringing up that point to the director. The fact that the child she was rocking when you got there was hers is irrelevant. As an infant teacher we sometimes had to let 1 or 2 cry if we were by ourselves, you only have 2 hands and were never supposed to tend to more than 1 at a time. Whether it was changing, feeding or nurturing. You could only carry or hold 1 at a time. Before jumping to conclusions I would calmly talk to the director about what you witnessed but ONLY if there were more than 4 babies in the room at the time.

Keep an eye on it and see if it happens again. Also ask about only having one teacher in the room. How many kids in room?
The daycare my son goes to will not allow any employees child to go there because of this reason…being partial to your own. Of the other teachers were on break maybe it was short lived and the said child was crying but was consoled when u came in. I would just express your concern they work for you and you have every right to know whats going on

Id be asking for centre policy in the babies room… surely at least two staff need to be present at all times.
There should always be atleast 2 members of staff always in the room. For evidence and for help. If anything did happen and cctv shows she was on her own that is illegal so say something.

I’ve worked that room many many years. By mostly myself. I had 6 or 7 babies. It was hell a big part of the day. But no this would’ve made me upset too. She shouldn’t have been in there with her own child, she shouldn’t have been left alone brand new in the infant room where there are the most regulations. I mean there’s so many issues with this.

You can bring it up, but do it nicely please. You had just walked into the room you have no idea what was taking place before you walked in. For all you know her child was upset, she had just gotten them calm and was getting ready to put them down as soon as she was sure they wouldn’t scream, and then go take care of the others that just started fussing. That could be the case so just be nice when you bring it up.

It’s hard to have an opinion about this on a very short visit. Unless you saw something concrete, then you’re just assuming. Babies cry. I think the ratio for babies is 1:4. If you saw more than 4 babies in the room, then you could mention that to the director.

I worked in an infant room in a daycare. It is not easy whatsoever when you have 3 infants to yourself. You have to let them cry you can’t get to them all at once. I don’t think it is a big deal but I know it’s hard to see. You can’t tend to 3 babies at once. Some babies will be left to cry but that doesn’t mean their not fed or changed. Babies cry for no reason. Although I will say she shouldn’t be in the same room with her child.

not sure if this is a differing thing with different countries because most of the ones i see saying this are from the UK/England, etc. or maybe it’s just only some allow this but most don’t, i don’t know but i’m in the US, and personally i’ve worked in a daycare and i was allowed to have my child with me. it never was an issue. the only rule they had was obviously no special treatment. the only thing i can say when reading this is don’t jump to conclusions. i get being initially upset but as it’s already been mentioned, maybe her child was the one that cried first and set the rest of the children off to start crying too. not only that, you said two of the other teachers were on break. she was alone and she’s only one person and can only do so much. i’ve been there where the other teachers went on break during naptime so i was alone with more than the ratio allows but they were supposed to be napping so it was allowed then, but then half of the children woke up mid naptime and started screaming crying. it’s overwhelming when you’re only one person and you have 3, 4 or 5+ children screaming and crying for attention. if you’re truly bothered by it, i would first have a discussion with that teacher specifically. if you’re still not satisfied, talk to the head teacher of that class (if she isn’t the head teacher of course) otherwise gently mention it to the director and don’t assume or try to maliciously get the lady in trouble when you don’t know the whole situation besides the barely 5 minute encounter that you had. i understand your frustration, you only want what’s best for your child and for your child to be in the best care, but we also have to understand that if that teacher was alone, she is still only one person that can only do so much. it’s stressful in that field sometimes. especially with the shortage of teachers/help.

I understand that you’re upset. It bears mentioning to the head teacher that maybe two teachers shouldn’t be on break at the same time. The ratio of workers to infants is too high when you have 1 worker rocking a baby and two others screaming and crying. And you can’t tell for how long. You don’t have to be unpleasant about it, just concerned. Everyone wants their children to get good care. We all hear horror stories about children being injured by workers or other children at daycare and it scares us to pieces. I know there’s a shortage of workers. It’s because the pay is low. We should also advocate for better pay for childcare workers. In the meantime, everybody try to work together and work smart.

A word to the wise: put yourself in the other persons shoes. If it were you in her position, with your child, how you would act and react? 
Your are the voice of your child. Let the owner know so she can get someone in there that cares. If you don’t she could be doing something that will hurt the kids. See something say something always. And I would show up at all times of the day to pick my kid up so they never know what time you are coming.

Voice your concerns to the director. It may not happen regularly or if it is, the director can explain why that particular teacher relieves the infant room teachers. And if it continues and you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, then find new childcare. It’s tough having to trust others with your child’s care. But we have to make it work so we can continue to give our kids the care they need.

When I worked infant room the ratio was 4 babies to one teacher. There were times when all babies seemed to cry at once and other times every baby was fine. You might have just caught a bad moment! Also babies go from o to 100 real quick, hopefully they weren’t crying for long and she was about to comfort the next baby.

I feel like you shouldn’t be judging a situation based on 30 seconds of it… how do you know how long the babies were crying? How did you “come to find out” the baby is hers?
You either stood by and watched this happen long enough to be sure, in which case YOU’RE actually wrong if you didn’t already say something… OR… you witnessed a very brief moment in someone’s day where their hands were full and you made an assumption because you’re upset you haven’t met this person before…
I can slightly see being upset about my child being with someone I haven’t met, however, if you’re choosing which day care to pay for… you should be using one you trust to care for your child and to hire other safe people to do so…if you don’t trust them to hire the right people you shouldn’t be sending your kid there in the first place

Having worked in all of the rooms in a daycare centre, as well as running my own home daycare, I can say a few things about this. We’ve often had children who will cry/scream for small reasons. In the tot room this will often cause fits amongst more than one of them. You’re usually 1-2 providers in that room depending on numbers and sometimes you have to take a minute to step back and console one child at a time.
One could be having a fit because they they wouldn’t sleep at nap time… they could be new there and not used to not having mom/dad around yet… you really don’t know the circumstances.
In my home daycare, I was able to cater to a child’s specific needs and rock them to sleep daily. In a centre, you generally don’t have one-on-one so it’s a bit challenging when parents don’t get their children used to falling asleep alone, being a tad more independent, etc (even I was a stay at home mom who rocked all mine to sleep every day and never really had them watched by anyone other than their grandmother). But these are all things you have to take into account, especially before judging.
If you have 3-5 tots under 2 in a room with you alone and a few of them started screaming what would you do? I’d honestly just speak to the provider or the supervisor at the site before making a big fuss over this.

Absolutely bring it up to someone at the daycare. And start looking for another daycare option in your area if neither you nor dad can be home with your baby because it sounds like this center may have a negligence problem. Always better to cause a fuss and have it end up being nothing than to ignore the issue and end up letting your kid get hurt or worse.
I don’t know. Babies can go from 0 to 100 real quickly. We also don’t know that said babies weren’t already tended to yet still crying. I babysat for a woman who told me just leave her daughter to CIO so she wouldn’t get used to being held/ coddled. She told me she was to be left to nap, no matter what.

I wouldn’t bring it up just yet, but I would definitely keep my eyes open. You walked in when her child was content, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t one of the screaming babies 30 seconds prior. She should have been talking to the other babies and assuring them they were ok and trying to calm them down, but you can’t just rock a baby until they stop crying and put them down immediately or they will start crying again. Ask yourself how you would feel if it wasn’t her child she was rocking. If it was her own child on the floor crying and she was rocking one of the other babies who were content, would it still bother you as much?

Having worked at multiple daycare and churchcares/children’s church/infant and toddler care. I can say crying babies are a domino effect. One baby starts crying, then two, the. They’re all screaming almost like a competition to be the loudest. My first job, when I was so naive and young, my and my coworker, both 17, were illegally working with 1-20 ratio of toddlers and infants EACH. When the domino effect happens with the infants, sometimes you got to find the quiet one to keep your sanity. And with toddlers…oh baby!

unacceptable! And when I worked in daycare. If there was a child especially in the infant screaming and not attended too, another teacher would jump in the room to help. I would be pissed too, and I’d bring that to the head persons attention.
100% not even a question
I would mention something . I would never hold one of my own and let another baby just cry 
They shouldn’t leave one person alone w the infants period. Whether it’s her child or not. That’s the problem but if I was a worker I would prob let my child cry lol and take care of the other two or tell those other two only one break at a time cause she can’t handle it

The daycare I worked at had to follow a state guideline that said for every X amount of children in the room requires X amount of workers in the room. The director was there everyday doing the background things (getting meals prepped, cleaning, getting the bigger kids activities set up) but she would rotate us out for breaks and she would take our spot for however long our breaks were. Then when everyone had taken their breaks she would go back to the background things. I believe it was also a rule that you could not be in a class with your own child if they were in the daycare too. So if I had my son with me, I couldn’t watch the 1-3yo class. I don’t know if it’s a state rule or just a rule that daycares have, but I believe it’s mostly so you keep your attention on all the kids under your care and not focused on what your child is doing all the time. I would research the laws in your state regarding how many providers need to be present in ratio to how many children are in a class and bring up your concerns to the director of the program. But as someone mentioned above, there is the domino effect in which one baby starts to cry and it sets off a sort of chain reaction between them all. It could have been that her child had started crying first and the rest followed and she had just gotten her child calmed down when you walked in. Also you said you’ve never seen her before, which means she was new and maybe didn’t know what to do once they all began to cry. To me though, if she was new, shouldn’t have been in the younger class and been placed with the older kids and also she should have been shadowing a worker and not be left alone while 2 workers went on break at the same time.

You likely came in at a bad time. This happens often, she likely just calmed the 1 child down and the other 2 had started up due to the other freaking out. This happens all too after, my parents own a daycare center and I sub for them as needed and this has happened to me. I will calm a upset infant but they trigger the other babies and I am left with now the calm baby and 2-3 more crying babies to deal with because ratio is 1 adult to 4 infants. And while it may seem I am rocking a calm baby you didn’t see that baby being the first to be upset and now the other 2-3 babies are now upset and want to be held too
