I did talk to her yesterday. She is begging me not to pull Trinity out. She says she will make whatever changes needed to make it a better place. She immediately told me (without me asking) that she will ban herself and her workers from smoking in the presence of the kids. She said they will only be allowed to smoke upstairs in her kitchen (which is completely closed off from the day care area) or on the balcony (which is completely away from the children's vision). She offered several solutions and assured me it would not be a problem any longer. After talking to a few people about this, we have decided to give it another chance and see if ms brenda does change things. she said "effective immediately", so I assume this means i will see the changes the next time i go there.

I'm so glad Toodles. No one wants their kids to be at risk, so anything you can do to help is going to help ALL the kids in their care.

I'm glad that you talked to her and, hopefully, things will be better.

today I got there to pick my daughter up and ms. brenda pulled me aside and thanked me again for calling her on this. she said she feels so good about her decisions to change the way some things were done and she can't thank me enough for my phone call. she said she appreciates me being comfortable enough to bring it to her attention...where some parents may not be...and would just never come back...and then the problem never gets solved.

i appreciated her pulling me aside like that...it meant a lot.

That's great. You did the right thing, which took courage. Most people would have just pulled their child out, disrupting the child and chancing a worse situation.

Maybe Ms. Brenda can give a brief lesson to the children on why smoking is bad and
that they've decided to stop.
