I've been looking at a couple potential new centers for my two children. After touring a bunch of daycares this week, I picked my top two favorite ones. I was having trouble deciding between the two so I pulled up their inspection records. Both of them have been in trouble recently for leaving a child inside a classroom when everyone else went outside! Is this common? How concerned should I be about this?
If it helps, here's the report said about one:
Based on Interview, on 5/1/15 a four-year-old child was left alone unsupervised in a the KA classroom for approximately fifteen (15) to twenty (20) minutes. In an interview with staff it was found that the two (2) teachers in the KA room took their group of children outside at approximately 3:00 p.m. A staff person that was walking down the hall saw the child in the classroom with the lights out and the child was crying. The staff person asked the child what happened and the child replied, "They left me". The staff person stated that she found the child at approximately 3:15 p.m. and returned the child to her group on the playground.
Here's the other one:
Based on Review of Documentation, the facility failed to meet this regulatory requirement. On 6/12/15 an administrative staff person reported that a two (2) year old child
was left alone/unsupervised in the classroom when the child's group went out to the playground. On 6/16/15 a DRCC surveyor, a DCBS worker and two (2) administrative staff
members watched video footage from the facility's surveillance system of the 6/12/15 incident. A review of the video footage found that two (2) staff (hire dates: 8/14/14 and 5/26/15) were observed working in Suite 350 with the children when the incident occurred. At 9:55AM the child was observed playing in the dramatic play area and he laid down flat on a wooden bench seat in this play area. At 9:57AM the two (2) staff lined the children up by the back door (door leading to the playground). One (1) staff person was observed on the video using a hand motion similar to counting children and then the group exited out the back door. It is important to note that due to the height and position of the bench, the child could not been seen from the video camera angle in the back of the room and could not been seen from where the staff were standing (at the back door) while they were lining up the children to go outside. At 10:02:40AM a staff person walked into Suite 350 and found the child in the room alone. The staff person escorted the child outside to the playground via the back door to re-unite him with his group. The two (2) staff were not aware that the child was missing. The child was left alone/unsupervised in Suite 350 approximatley five (5) minutes (9:57AM - 10:02AM). One (1) staff person was terminated as a result of the incident and two (2) other staff received reprimands.

Sorry, but this just makes me so upset. Those people should not be in charge of taking care of kids.
