Sorry, the app has been buggy all day and error-ing like mad.
portuguesemama So glad N is getting the assistance he needs! My little brother had a tongue tie that was never fixed, so he had a speech impediment (my name was a rough one for him) and did speech therapy. You can barely tell anymore, only when he's hopped up on Red Bull and talks too fast. It's amazing how quickly things start flowing once in therapy. Thinking good thoughts for you guys!
As far as DC questions...
1. Certifications and the type of people they hire (like, do you hire people who actually want to do this for a living, or people needing a job until something else comes along). I want my kid to have stability!
2. Schedule. What do they do all day?
3. Can I know what they are learning / focusing on each week so I can help at home?
4. Peanut-free school (most are)? DNW to be the mom who sent in PB&J and almost kills a kid.
5. Social media policy (cause SO is crazy).
6. Medication and how they handle it.
7. Talk to me about nap time (where will she sleep, what can she sleep with, what can't she sleep with (wubanubbs, for example), is someone always in the room during nap time, etc.).
8. How do you handle different people picking up kids? Do they ask for ID (they better!). They should have a file that lists who can pick up the kid, but should still check ID if it's someone who doesn't come often and they don't recognize right away.
9. Is the front door locked in any way? M's DC has a code that we punch in. This was very important to me.
She answered like 90% of these - with the exception of meds and allergies. So woohoo for her knowing everything I should ask. Haha. She's the owner so I figured she knew what info to give out.
How about they use a hand scanner for the locked door? I was like umm what?! It's kind of awesome and kind of crazy. Haha.
I'm super excited for speech and OT too! That's really interesting about your brother. I guess there's an 'age limit' for lack of a better term for getting a tongue tie fixed?
