How can i tell if my son is not treated good at childcare?

Talk to your son ask him questions like what do you do? Is everyone nice? Do you have fun? Why dont you want to go back? Also talk to all the people who run the daycare and ask them alot of questions about what he does? Who he hangs out with? If he gets along with other kids? so on and so forth

My son is four almost five and I can see he's enjoying school.He looks forward every day to seeing his friends especially his best friend.I wait for him outside at the end of each school day and he is usually one of the last out of class,always busy comes out smiling clutching something he's done during the day and then hangs around chatting to his friends he's never in a distressed or rushed state. It's true it can take a child some adjustment time but clearly your son is not enjoying this and I would question what is going on.Ask him and maybe find alternative arrangements.

i would be trying to find out what is going on. try asking him if anyone is mean to him. or what happens at daycare while you are gone. i know he is a kid, and might not say much, but you need to give it a try. what concerns me, is he was fine the first few times, now hes not. that would make me think something is happening. also, look for any bruises, scratches, bumps. anything. when you pick him up. sure kids will get bumps and bruises, but if you see anything suspicious speak up! ask him what happened. you know your child better then anyone, and if you get a "bad vibe" then there is a reason. mommy's have intuition for a reason. so be alert. and if anything suspicious is happening, find another day care. also, talk to other parents. see how their kids behave, and if they have ever had problems.

typcially just ask him how it went. as him if everyone was being nice. children dont hold back the truth. he'll tell you.

Listen to your child

My son goes to childcare in Canberra (Australia State) and he does the whole crying thing when he gets there, but it's only because he knows i'm going. They (being the child) just think that your going to leave them there and not come back. It's normal to cry and they do outgrow it, they also have a stranger danger thing about them so if they see someone 'new' that they haven't seen before, that can scare them a little, but they do settle down and faces do become familiar. Soon your son will be excited about going to daycare and you'll have nothing to worry about. It takes time for a child to get a sense of belogning and feel secure, but once he lets fun take over, he'll be fine. his probably acting like that because the daycare is somewhere he hasn't been before and it's new surroundings... Sometimes he might cry when you pick him up because he got a sense of belonging and now your taking that away from him so his emotions might be a little confused, or because he had such a good day and doesn't want to leave. Most kids do say they don't want to go to daycare *my sons daycare aide told me this but really kids don't know what they want. Your son will get used to it. Just give him time. He'll soon be saying that he doesn't want to come home :-)
