[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bright Horizons does this.  They have a transition sheet any time children move to a different room or to the playground.  I assumed this was a regulation they were following.  This is in DC.[/quote]

The kids [b]shouldn't[/b] have gotten out. 
They're absence [b]certainly[/b] should he been [b]noticed[/b], but what do you think these people do all day? Perhaps the staff were busy changing diapers, preparing a meal or a snack, setting up a learning activity, attending to a child that was injured or sick, playing one on one with a child, one staff member may have needed the restroom, or maybe, the staff was busy filling out [b]required paperwork [/b]when the kids got out. And maybe, just maybe, they were attempting to do all of the above at the same time.[/quote]

In any business, SAFE environment is most important, but specially a DAYCARE. We, parents, don't care what you do, you need to keep them  in safety and alive. And if you after couple of min didn't realize that 4 kids are missing, that means you do nothing. I know that from my own experience, I worked in the daycare before.[/quote]

Please, before telling me what you do or don't care about, and before telling me what you think I need to do, please, read my post more carefully.
Why do you assume I'm NOT a parent? I am. 
And why do you assume that I work at the daycare? I don't. 
I was expressing my own opinion to the question 'how could this happen?' and my own opinion that [u]transitioning sheets [/u]and other required paperwork are NOT the answer to keeping the kids safe. The staff and the physical environment (gates, fencing, door locks, etc.) are what keep the kids safe. 
I was also stating my own opinion about what daycare workers are doing all day. 
If you read my [b]very first [/b]comment it was that the kids [b]shouldn't[/b] have gotten out. In other words, that they [i]should[/i] have been safe. This was followed by my statement that the missing children should have been noticed. 
I was not attempting to make excuses for anyone. I was stating, in a round about way, that daycare workers are required to do more than sit and stare at the children. 
While you may have worked in daycare before and know what daycare workers are responsible for during the day, many parents do not know. [/quote]
