Would this bother you?

When DS moved to toddler room the toddler teacher was promoted to Assistant Director.  I don't like the remaining toddler teacher because she is rude in my opinion.  I think it is a cultural issue because in her culture her behavior is normal, but would considered rude in the US (the daycare is in the US). 

I tried to tell her I would pick DS up late, and got a "So, why are you telling me this attitude"  And I felt like I got attitude when I told her that yes she does need to give my child his medicine that I brought in for him.  I also worry about language development when his teacher has such poor English.  I know a lot of people use Au Pairs, how do you deal with the language issue/ cultural barrier? 

Would you move to a different center if you didn't love a teacher?  Otherwise I like the center and he will only be in that room for 7 months.  DS seems to be happy there.  

ETA: I do like the multicultural aspect she can bring to DS's education. 

Re: Would this bother you?

  • I have learned to separate my issues with a provider from my assessment of the provider interacting with my child.  The issues you bring up, aside from the cultural/language, are more about you/her than her and your DS.  So I would let it go.  I do think that the cultural difference can be a good thing; I suppose language development is a concern at that age but I wouldn't be phased by it if everything else the provider gives to my child was okay. 

    Do you know who the next provider is?

  • I would give it a little time before you make any decisions about moving. There have been times when I didn't like DD's teachers at first but got more comfortable with them over time. You also have to take into account how DS feels about the teacher. If he likes her that is pretty important, whether you like her or not.
