Apparently no one involved with this movie did any research on daycare
Ummmmm....no?
There is so much wrong with this movie it isn't funny.
However...the one thing that was laughable was the fact that the director of the daycare let the teacher watch all the kids by herself instead of stepping in to help her....in most states it is a regulation that you MUST have a certain teacher to child ratio regardless of whether is is private or publicly owned. In every daycare I have been involved with, the director is VERY flexible and is constantly in the rooms with the children watching them if a teacher is out.
Also, I'm sorry but if you have a 4 year old who has had very little socialization with other children and has stayed home with you every day until she is 4....she is GOING to pitch a fit when you drop her off. Maybe not on day 1...but give it a few days and she will be SCREAMING to not be dropped off. This girl never once shed a tear over being dropped off with complete strangers when all her life, all she has known is being at home with her mother.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
Stupid stupid unrealistic movie. Par for the course lifetime!
