[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious,

I have never heard such a thing as a daycare taking young children off property to places like public parks.  It seems like a dangerous liability.

Is this a DC thing?[/quote]

Very common when the day care does not have its own playground. Where are you from?[/quote]

Our downtown DC daycare did this and it was never an issue.  They had a 4:1 or 5:1 student/teacher ratio and the teachers know all of their children well enough to keep track of them.  I never once felt uncomfortable about this.[/quote]

Most downtown daycares routinely take the kids to the closest public park, as well as to children's performances at local theaters or museums.  It's a really common sight around here to see the kids out.  They usually have a rope that they all hold onto when walking, and some have bright vests that they wear.  Doesn't bother me--frankly, I'd be more annoyed if they didn't take the kids outside, and if they failed to take advantage of all the cultural stuff they have access to downtown.  [/quote]
