We went through the same thing with Madi when she was in daycare. The crap of it is they wouldn't tell us who the kid was because of privacy rules. We knew who the kid was but we weren't allowed to even talk to the kids parents. Did they remove the kid from day care over many complaints from us and other parents? Nope. They didn't think it was in the best interest of the child with the issues.
Honey I've had a kid BREAK the arm of a teacher. Biting and scratching ain't sh**. Privacy is just that... each child/family deserves it. When it's your ****ing child that bites you'd be glad for the privacy. It's TYPICAL ****ing development. It's what kids do when they can't ****ing TALK!
I could point you to lots of research articles... Won't because it won't make a difference. It's your kid(s) getting bitten. It's tough. I get it. Mine was a pin cushion for a child that bites. But it's typical development. Kicking those kids out of care isn't the answer.

you'd ****ing think that people would be able to use some common ****ing sense over a handbook to "prevent" a recurring issue. I can understand something happening once in a day, but three times? Who is looking at the kids?
I am mega ****ing annoyed.
Understand completely. But understand that this is typcial development. Kids who are little can't SAY what they are thinking and feeling so they REACT. It's split second.
Think you can keep it from happening, I'd love to see it... I'd love to see you keep this from happening. You won't be able to... you can't.... neither can the teachers. They can't have octo-arms and be everywhere at all times. Depending on staff child ratios it's a HARD ****ing job.
I'll leave you with this poem:
Walking away now.
Was a nice visit. Stay well all. Gotta enough stress with this sh** at work. BYE!
