[quote=Anonymous]At our daycare, they taught around 1 to sit on stairs and climb down backwards. At that time there were 5-6 stairs to get to the rec room and 3-4 stairs to get out the emergency door in the classroom. Other than that, the small ones stay on the main floor, and the older ones are upstairs. Once they are 2-3, they teach them to go upstairs, single file, holding the bannister. My son at five will still sit down to go down the stairs on his rear if he's carrying a lot of stuff or really tired in the morning and coming down to breakfast. i was glad they taught the little ones this life safety skill. My son's behavior is a sign that they built in a safe reaction to a potentially dangerous situation. In a real pinch, though, for the infants, they just grab the babies and go - like an unplanned fire drill. When it's planned, they have the buggy outside the window/door and pass the babies up and put them in the cart. In your case, the teacher did see the kid, and they went and retrieved them. Not sure what code problem you're thinking about.[/quote]
