[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children left anywhere - red flag
repeat major safety violoations - red flag
Staff violations were staff is terminated - red flag
Missing child abuse registrey check or criminal check for mulitple staff for long periods of time - red flag

happens everywhere:
Paperwork missing from employee files
Paperwork missing from child files
Not enough mulch on playround (unless its really bad)
cleaners of spray bottles left out
hot liquid in reach of child 
incident reports not filled out correctly
daily sheets missing some info
minor injuries - child has finger pinched in door, child has scratch from sharp corner

I disagree with the cleaners left out and hot liquid in reach of child; these are clear dangers to children, and do NOT happen everywhere.  It shows carelessness and should raise some questions.

Paperwork missing from employee files also shows a lack of organization, IMO.  Paperwork missing from parents is a result of parents failing to get everything turned in, and is not as indicative of problems at the center as the employee paperwork would be.

Yes, you are correct about these but I would rather go to a center where the teacher left her morning coffee in a covered coffee cup on the counter for a few minutes then I would a center who let a child wonder off from the center. The OP was asking what are "red flags" and hot liquid is often cited -even if covered or in a thermal cup - same with spray bottles even if say there were no kids in the classroom when this was observed.

No center exists that hasn't had a paperwork violation - it happens. Can be anything from a missing signature, a missing phone number on a form, or missing TB test results. Again, I would rather have that then a missing criminal background check.[/quote]
