RP from toddler board would this bother you? Daycare

I think that one of the ladies that works at dd's daycare has her own son in the same room she only works there 1 day a week. He was in there this morning, but I'm not entirely sure if that was just for the morning and he's in the younger room?? or not

anyhow, I was told at our old daycare that that was against gov't rules as it could create favoritism

I realise this happenes all the time in family daycare but at a daycare centre I'm not sure how I feel about it kind of like it's inappropriate....

I don't think I'll say anything since she only cares for dd 1 day a week along with another lady I like a lot and I like her as a person, but still......

    One of DS's teachers' has a son in DS's class. I haven't noticed any favoritism. I mean, when he gets hurt he cries for her and she goes to him, but I haven't seen her spending extra time with him other than that.

    I don't think it's inappropriate at all. What kind of favoritism or scenarios are you worried about? 

    I don't think that her son being there will have a negative impact on your child or the quality of care she receives at all.

    I think you are downplaying it too much - like I went in this morning and multiple children were crying and she was sitting and holding her own who was fine

    but yes, I do like her enough that I think she'll be able to manage the situation and I won't say anything

    just was wondering if anyone else had experienced this situation

    Yep, I have.  DS is in a center and right before he moved to the new room, one of his teacher's had a DD that was moved in to there.  She did an awesome job never showing favortism (I was in there quite a bit since I still BFed at the time).  I was definitely on alert for that kind of thing, but really, she did a very good job.  My DS moved out (due to age) and her's stayed in there for about 4 months though they eventually moved her DD b/c she got older and they all felt that her DD was not as well behaved simply b/c her mom was in there.  If I had the experience like you've mentioned though, I might consider bringing it up to the director.  It's a center, not an at home, she doesn't get that luxury if she cannot manage it.

    Not cool. I mean, on the one hand it could have just been chance on your part that you walked in while she was holding her kid when she was actually rotating kids trying to comfort them all. But if you see something like that again, I would talk to her boss and ask him/her to say something to the care provider that if her DS is going to be in the same room, then she needs to make sure he's not getting more attention than the other kids.
