OP again.  The instructors take down your cell phone number in case they need to reach you and you are not in that grim little back room that someone suggested that i sit in for an hour with my 18-mo old.  [/quote]

OP, I'm one of those people -- but I've been in your shoes, and sometimes, when my little one was younger, my older one just didn't take that class because the circumstances just weren't decent.  Other times, we've had friends, and taken turns waiting and so on.  It's not ideal.

And I'm certainly not "blaming you" or anything like that.  But you asked in your first post how other people handled these types of things, and my rule of thumb is, when my child has the maturity to cross the street by himself, and stay at home alone safely for 30 minutes -- then he has the maturity to be left in a low-key drop-off situation.  Until then, I leave him but it has to be more secure.   The play place at Ikea... sure -- where they sign kids in and out and have wrist bands or whatever.  Or a proper preschool situation, of course.  But the child has to have the maturity not to just wander off, walk out an open door.  IMO.
