[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent. I put both my kids in center-based daycare from 6 months to K. You describe your kids as happy with the center and the owners as caring. It seems they are using the kindervan as a time out chair. Your kids seem to be aware that naughty kids are sanctioned using this chair. My daycare had a time out chair on the ground with no belt for 3-4s. If your kids do not seem traumatized by this, then I would take it up with the owners directly. Ask them to put an unbelted time out chair in, instead For me, I had bigger issues with momentary inattention. I once arrived in an infant classroom to find my kid sitting in a Bumbo and nobody in the room at all. The young aide had gone to the restroom. While that's a call a mom might make, I didn't expect it from a daycare with multiple teachers. My older kid was also left unattended at age 3 while a teacher went to answer a phone, and during that time, he ran around the classroom and fell and smashed his teeth on a table. So...the situation you're complaining about at least seems more safety minded. I would talk to the center first. Because your kids don't seem to be harmed. It might only be one of the staff doing it. [/quote] Thanks for providing some perspective and I am so sorry that happened to your son! That had to have been traumatic for everyone. Honestly, I have rationalized this in many ways, due to all the positives at the center. From what my kids have said, I feel pretty sure they use the restraints for the staff's convenience and for punishment/time out. I've realized that just doesn't work for me. [/quote]
