Should I tell on the daycare director about this?

Question

My son's teacher hasn't been in school for over a week because she's sick and my son currently has a assistance substitute right now.. on Wednesday when I picked my son up from school, he was playing with an airplane and wanted to bring it to home, but I told him he couldn't bring to home because its not his and needs to be left at school..well his substitute came up to where we was and said "Noah, you need to give to me, its mines, not yours" kind of in a mean tone if you know what I mean..and my 2 year old was about to hand it to her but she snatched it out of his hand and walked away not even saying thank you or anything...should I be mad about this? Mind you my son can't speak in full sentences and after we left the classroom, he bursts in tears because I guess he was shocked how the teacher just snatched it from his hand..I just wish the teacher said it in a nicer way about giving the toy back and not in a rude tone

sadly, under the present circumstance, your son is lucky to have some adult in his child care at all.  they're probably scrambling just to find an acceptable warm body -- because, with CV19, all the ordinary substitutes are overwhelmed or out sick themselves.  sure, your 2 year old had his feelings hurt ... and its ok to speak to the director ... but, frankly, there's little that could be done differently except close the child care or his room until the regular care giver is well again.  [and my guess is that you can't stay home with him, can you?  so you're stuck.  welcome to CV19 conditions.]  -- grampa

I'd bring it up with the director of the program, definitely. The substitute needs some further education on working with the children in positive ways.
