[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I work in child care and have to say this is total BS on behalf of the center.  A reasonable accommodation would be for the child to be picked up carried down the stairs during a fire drill.  We have plenty of kids that need to picked up and carried - new walkers, slow toddlers, kids who are crying and freaking out about the noise of the fire drill.  If it's too much for the teachers, then an administrator/receptionist/non-teacher should be assigned to come to the room to assist.   Their other option is to move the classroom to the ground floor. 
Also, despite what a PP proposed, your child does not need more PT to get better at walking, she needs time to develop and more practice walking.

Here's a link to some info on the ADA for child care providers.

OP here, thank you so much for your response.  The DC has been reasonable and we set up a plan to get her upstairs.  We will see how it goes with their fire drills, hopefully they'll do one shortly after she moves there. [/quote]
