[quote=Anonymous]It's possible that the teachers at the center in question are great, loving people as some parents have pointed out but that they are human and that humans make mistakes.

In my opinion this WAS NOT A SIMPLE MISTAKE. It was an issue of the director or the teachers not following proper procedures.

At our daycare, there are always at least two teachers whenever a group of students go out and they absolutely cannot leave the playground.

If there is an emergency or if someone needs to get their diaper changed or go to the bathroom either a floater is called to help out or if none is available EVERYONE goes back inside. This is a pain obviously and can be annoying for the students but it all but guarantees no one will get lost. The other rule is that the teachers are always supposed to be standing up during recess and facing the children. The teachers take these rules very seriously.

When I first visited I thought it was kind of like they were guards and jokes about it to my husband but that's exactly what teachers should be doing on playgrounds!

We started at this daycare after we left a different one in our area that lost a child.

Anyone know what happened to the director? In the case I know about, the teacher was let go (although she blamed it on a different teacher and I actually think the other teacher who stayed was at fault) but the director is still there and there are still sloppy procedures that have led to other issues, including injuries of children.
