Accident at St. Albans Early Childhood Center (SAECC) - Tenleytown

[Anonymous]

There was another incident in the past 2 years where an infant was left unattended on a changing table and fell off. The parent was there when it happened, and luckily the teacher caught the baby before she hit the ground. The teacher was also fired. SAECC is a large center and I don't know what the average accidents per population is for a daycare. As a parent, I know I'm not perfect either and I know lots of parents have had a child fall off a bed or similar. It happens, and I think that SAECC is generally good about being transparent with it when it happens. I wonder about centers where you dont hear about accidents. Do they never happen? I doubt it.

You have got to be kidding me. No one should be paid to work with babies and leave one unattended on a changing table. That's insane that you think that's acceptable. What kind of standards do you have for bus drivers? Can they text and drive, or should they know not to do that when they're on the clock? If you leave a baby unattended on a changing table, they will likely fall off. For christ's sake, who doesn't know that? I hope everyone who is actually PAID to work with babies knows this. You can't be for real.

It was bumped b/c of a new incident.

Why wasn't the parent supervising the child?

The same parents begging, threatening, and pleading for daycare and schools to open are the first to start howling the money their kids get an ouchies.

I'd be really curious how many 'accidents' all your children had when they were forced to be home from March 2020 - currently. Guessing a lot of occurrences that would have had them suing the daycares if it wasn't them.

Cheap childcare is usually a mistake.

It wasn't a new incident, it was a message from SAECC explaining their side of the OP's story.
