The staff member totally messed up and there is no excuse for this but I just wanted to share my experience. You'd think all caregivers would be glad to show ID to keep up safe practices but people are so mean about it.

I always thank staff/teachers for keeping my kid safe when they've asked me to show ID (beginning of the year, new teacher, etc). Thank you for continuing to ask despite the rudeness from some people.

Thank you! The attitude we get is astounding. I’ve worked in prek classrooms going on 4 years and people are almost always rude and nasty about it.

They said the child was with the stranger for an hour. This is terrifying!

What is terrifying is that a 3 year old is left at an elementary school until 6:30. Is that really how late aftercare is available for 3 year olds? When 6:35 roles around on a Friday I have to believe the aftercare workers are calling everyone on the remaining kid's (the one who really should have gone home with the uncle) emergency contact list. And then the parents of the missing kid show up. Obviously the should have figured out what happened before 7:30. I still don't understand why there is pre-k for 3 year olds at elementary schools. They should be located somewhere else. Elementary schools have enough to deal with.

In most schools PK 3/4 is in a different wing or section from upper elementary. Glad to know you didn’t move to the city for free preschool!

I work at a school with a 100% ID requirement to enter the building during the school day. On a daily basis, half of the parents give us the WORSE attitude about having to produce ID and sign in.

As a mother i'll never understand it; having to show ID to enter my child's school would inspire confidence in the security procedures.

Is 6:30 too late for a child to stay at day care?

Yup same. I worked at a dcps once that didn’t make people show ID they wanted the school assessable to all parents even if those parents.

Sorry *didnt have an ID*

Which means people that weren’t parents were allowed in. What a mess. And such a lack of safety.
