daycare or learning center?

Question

I am interested in purchasing a business what is the differance between a daycare and a learning center ? When I visited a learning academy I said something about a daycare and the lady was really offended. Do they have differant rules or guide lines????????????

Answer 1

To a large extent, "learning center" is a fancy name for a daycare. A "learning center" might also be someplace like a preschool where the children attend for limited hours maybe a few days a week - in daycare, they are often there all day, five days a week, while their parents work.

Although you signed a paper saying that you won't hold the center liable, you signed nothing for the parents of individual children. Go back to the center. They should have immunization information on site. While threatening isn't something i generally recommend, I would use a form of it here. Speak to the center DIRECTOR/OWNER. Tell them that you realize you signed the release, but that if they are unwilling to cooperate with you, your going to be forced to go to the biters parents. Explain that you will have to inform the parents that you tried to work with the center, however they were unwilling, and left you no choice but to hold the biters parents liable. Also make known that if forced to do this, you will be contacting other parents in the center to tell them how unhelpful and concerned you are about all children. Do a little research and find a competing daycare provider in your area. Let the center know that you will recommending all parents to that center. While being able to see on paper whether or not the biter had all immuniztions will let you rest better, chances are your little girl is safe. You mentioned AIDS in your question. HIV or AIDS cannot be passed through saliva, so your daughter's chances of getting that are slim, the biter would have had to had blood in his mouth when he bit her, very unlikely. Most centers require children be up to date on immunizations, so the boy probably was. Regardless, your daughter should be up to date with her shots, which will also help rule out any infections. Hope that helps. :)

I'm not totally sure but i think a learning center is like a pre-school or any school where you accually are learning things and a day care is like having someone babysit your kids and they play with them and do fun things with them. I'm not totally sure but I think that's what it is. Good luck
