I am sorry that this happened but it was good that it happened in front of you. http://www.childcareaware.org/ is a helpful tool to locating center based and in home childcare that meets your needs. Good luck!

That is not acceptable! If this woman can't handle a kid putting things in his mouth, and isn't sensitive to a first-timer's caution in a new environment, I think you should thank her for making it crystal clear that this is not the place for you or your child. Shame on her for not respecting your child, and for trying to make you feel like he was going to be a "problem" to care for. This makes me so mad! Our son goes to the JCC in Wedgwood. Pricewise it's pretty much on par with other small private programs, which is to say we have to cut back on other things in order to make it worth it, but we couldn't be happier with the level of care he gets. We looked at Young Child Academy downtown near Seattle Center, and it was really small and felt very loving as well, and I remember it not being nearly as expensive.

hello there--I am so so sorry. I have been there with the stress of finding the right fit for childcare and don't wish that upon any mom or parent. I have a couple of suggestions: first, put your child on the waitlist now for when he turns 3, for Magnolia Montessori. Hands down amazing and best small and affordable childcare. Second, consider for now, getting an au pair if you have an extra bedroom (which is a requirement). I am an experienced au pair host mom now (can't believe I can say that) and have successfully had 3 au pairs (one each year) and by far the best childcare experience for our family of 3 children. I started when our youngest was only 2 months, and she is now bilingual (a plus). It takes some work on your part to find the right au pair and to understand how it works. But, it is fantastic, flexible, affordable, reliable and someone who becomes a part of your family. We live in Magnolia, and have used Cultural Care Au Pair. I would not look at any other agencies, because of the Local Coordinator here for our neighborhood for Cultural Care is the best. Third, for a short term possibility, I would reach out to Annie's Nannies Temp Nanny service. It is too expensive as a long term solution, but not that expensive for the short term and I have had really really good luck with the nannies that are temp through them.

St Raymond is great all 3 of my kids went there

My son did 2 years at Fidelity House preschool and loved it.

With his eligibility there should be preschool programs for him. Head Start is a wonderful program. Contact the people who did his evaluations and ask what additional services he could qualify for. You need structured programs not baby sitting.
