I'm just wondering because if not, that sounds like an unsanitary situation to me.
Yes, it was required. And leaving my child ready to start the day made a lot more sense to me than having the teachers spend the first hour of daycare getting them that way. Especially when they were babies, I was glad to know the morning cuddle wasn't going to be interrupted by a diaper change that the parent could have done at drop-off.

But it IS someone else's responsibility at this point in the day. Not the OP, but I understand her consternation. Part of the reason for daycare is because people need to be at work and need help with their kids!
Sorry, but it is a parents responsiblity to bring a child to daycare ready to go...that means they are clean, properly dressed, and fed (if it is after meal-time anyway). That means if they poop while you are on your way to daycare, chaning them is up to you. That said, I actually do change kids rather than create ill-will with a parent. Fortunately for me, most of my parents recognize their responsiblity for their kids and would be appreciative of my extra efforts rather than feeling entitled.
Ugh. I'm glad we go to daycare that doesn't have such an antagonistic relationship with the parents.
