I see that you have pulled him out of daycare, which was probably good in your case, but I still wanted to make comments on your post.

I worked in a daycare (two different ones) for about four years, so I have seen the gammit of issues, good and bad of both centers. Since this will turn long I will just address two of you issues.

1. The teachers should have interacted with him the second you brought him into the room to make the transition easier, plus should have spoken to you. I would find this odd and warning about things that go on during the day when you are not there if they are acting like that when you are around.

2. I'm not sure what the state law on this is. One of the girls could have been over 18, but hypothectically if you are uncomfortable with someone of that age with a baby then that should be addressed. As far as recognizing an asthma attack, I'm sure you spoke with them about this beforehand. For this reason they should only having someone watching him who is trained in this area and would know what to do. I always have to take CPR and first aid classes, but a time when I had a child who had type 1 diabetes, he was hyperglycemic, so his mom came in and taught four of us everything we needed to know and one of us was always with him.

Normal daycares are just not really suited for children who require extra special attention. In order for the center to stay in business they need to have the maximum number of children in the room per teacher as the state law madates. If they choose to have a lower child/teacher ratio the cost of attendance will go up dramatically. Thats not saying that the children wont get attention, a teacher will just not have the time to monitor one child as needed the entire day when there are ten others in the room.
(Personallly this is why I won't put my children in center until they reach a certain age-I know that most people don't have the choice though).
