I enrolled my 1 year old in KinderCare after COVID restrictions were released. The childcare workers did not show any compassion or patience with my child. I witnessed him placed at a table facing a wall by himself while the other children played "bubbles." The worker suggested she was allowing him to decide to play when he was ready to join the group. I also witnessed that worker sit my son along an isolated wall while he cried hysterically. I don't believe such a punitive approach is effective when dealing with a 1 year olds needs.
The staff were polite but ineffective.
