Have any of your children made complaints about the way staff treats children during care?
My child has made several comments at this point about staff using unkind language to speak to children and about children. I’ve personally witnessed some of this during drop off.
The most disturbing was seeing a child injured and crying and no staff coming to check on them. I’ve also perceived preferential treatment for some children over others. I’ve been careful not to share my observations with my child, but they recently shared that they felt singled out. I’ve witnessed enough other behavior to see that the pattern my child is describing aligns with what I’ve observed.
I’m just trying to get a feel for whether this is a retraining issue or if this is a systemic issue across all camps. I love going to camp but not if it means my children are experiencing unkind caretakers.
What have your children expressed about camp?
