[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 have 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]

I'm quite aware of what "these people" do all day, as I used to be a preschool teacher myself (in another state).  A transition sheet is not lengthy-- a teacher is noting where a child is at all times. The absolute, #1 responsibility of any child care provider is to keep children safe.  I don't know how anyone can make excuses for these teachers.  And let's be real-- they were outside, so no, they were not changing diapers, preparing snack, etc.  They have one job on the playground-- supervise the children.  How can half the class leave the playground and no one notices??[/quote]
