It was voted "Local Best" and sure wasn't cheap.
But yeah, I only lasted I think 3-4 months working outside the home, and only that long because I couldn't afford to both quit and pay out the day care contract.
I think because it was rated so good, they ended up with too many babies and couldn't handle them all.
If the college doesn't have to pay too much staff because it's mostly students, they probably can afford to have a much lower child/teacher ratio. In South Dakota it was 5:1. How the heck do you care for 5 babies at once??
