[quote=Anonymous]I taught and managed a huge martial arts school for several years.  The kids were the instructors' responsibility until a parent (or other responsible person) picked them up.  My instructors knew the policy and also knew that I had a zero tolerance policy for those kinds of things.  In our regular classes, the instructors were expected to keep track of the kids in the class and to make sure they didn't leave the building without a parent.  In our after-school and summer (daycare) programs, I required the parent to sign the child in and out, and the instructor initialed the sign out.  If the kids came directly from their school, the van driver was expected to take attendance before leaving the school.  And we checked the kids in as they got off the bus.  Most of the time parents were pretty good about calling if their child wasn't going to attend that day.  But if not, we called the parent.

As backup, we always had one of our black belts (either an adult or older teen) at the door to make sure no one slipped out.

In other words, there is no excuse for what happened to your child.  The person running the program should immediately apologize and explain what he will do to prevent it from happening again.  Like other posters, I wouldn't leave the premises during a three year old's gym class.  But that really isn't the point.[/quote]
