14:1 Ratio Drop-in Childcare, Would You Do It?
My town has drop-in hourly childcare where you can drop off kids from one hour up to eight hours. It has a wide range of ages accepted with the youngest being one.
I’m debating dropping my almost 15 month old (non-walking) for a couple hours when I need to go to appointments.
I feel like the staff might get overwhelmed at times with that ratio and being able to actually look after the kids especially the younger ones. Would you feel comfortable leaving your little one at a place like this?
ETA: Thank you for all the replies. For clarification: she hasn’t been and I haven’t thought it was a good idea. My husband was encouraging me to take her for a few hours here and there. After showing him the replies, we are both firmly on board with not doing this. Thanks again!
