How lucky these teachers and staff are to have you on their side. I do not
have any studies or research to cite, just an idea. I think very young
babies (up to 4 - 6 mos??)could be allowed to be in the classroom w/ mom. If
everyone goes for this policy, that would be great. More illness if baby is
w/ all the older kids. This would lead to more absenteeism etc.  How about
expanding the daycare for the older infants/children to a bigger room(s) and
having some sort of curriculum where the older high school students could
participate as child carers.? By this I mean like a Family Life
curriculum/Early Childhood whatever and have the students rotate thru caring
for the children and earning credit.? Just a thought.
