Locked Door, Dad Keeps Trying lol

[DaveA]

I keep my doors unlocked during daycare hours. I'm in a pretty calm subdivision near a quiet small town. If I still lived in a city I'd have the locks with the keycode entry for parents.

I'm kind of like BC when it comes to locking my doors and keys. But then again I grew up out in the country where you left your doors unlocked in case "someone needed in". :: We moved out here after we went away for a weekend and came back to find someone had broke in and grabbed everything down to the food in the freezer.

We don't live in a huge area. There is maybe 40,000 people in our township. Not a high crime area at all. I don't believe any area is exempt from crime. This is not the only reason I like to keep my door locked. It does keep the kids in. Yes, they can open it in an emergency, but if I have to run to the bathroom it's going to take them a couple of seconds longer to escape. My main concern is that one of the kids is going to get hit. I wish I could show you exactly our setup, but they are close to that door alot during the day and it would only take one person to whip it open to injure a child. I don't see the big deal for a parent to knock and wait literally 10 seconds.

My daycare is in my basement so I keep the garage door unlocked and parents can enter through my garage. I have a magnetic strip type of alarm on that door and it rings like a doorbell in the basement.

It's great because it gives me a little warning when parents are coming and if no one comes down, I know I need to go investigate.

My husband says if anyone breaks in, they will run away fast when they hear the chaos in the basement. ::

😂😂😂 This made my day! Sounds about right....

I don't know about pedophiles, but my licensing evaluator walked into the house today while I was in the bathroom dealing with a bodily function. Whaddaya gonna do? :: She was going to stop in this afternoon. The house was dark, there was a sign on the door saying not to ring the bell during nap time, and I was sitting on the toilet thinking "Oh, she is totally going to show up RIGHT NOW."
