Would you be annoyed if your child’s preschool did not return your child’s portfolio?

Ok my little girl just finished Pre-K. At the beginning of the year we had to provider a binder for her “portfolio” of school work. At the parent teacher conference the teacher went through it with me and it had tons of cute stuff in it. School has ended and I did not receive the portfolio back. I spoke with the director and she said she would check with the teacher and they would call. That was a week ago. Am I being unreasonable wanting this?
A disturbing sight at my daughter’s daycare resulted in a conference with the worker in question?

I did not file an official complaint after seeing a care provider slam her hand down on the counter and yell at my daugter. I opted to have a talk about it.
Yesterday, I discussed the incident with her and her supervisor. She had called her supervisor the night before to tell her “what happened.”
Basically, she tried every avenue of escape, but I caught her every time. She was disrespectful, condecending, immature and reactionary during the talk. She was making faces and tried to say that I was very angry upon seeing her behavior. Another worker attested to the exaggeration too.
This didn’t work and in the end it was apparent that she was angry and directed it at my daughter. Only when she was cornered did she own up to “loosing it.”
I am seriously considering taking my daughter out of that daycare bc of that person. She and the supervisor have worked together many years and I think she was interested in freeing her friend from blame. What would you do?
Yes, people lose it-I know this, I’m a mother. What was done was inappropriate. I don’t need it explained to me that no one is perfect.
