My children have been in several different daycares since they were born, so I have seen a lot... but this one in particular really takes the cake. Whiz Kids in Little Rock, Arkansas... I'll be pulling my kids as soon as I can find an alternative, that's for sure.
I dropped my kids off this morning, kissed them goodbye and got back in my car to head off to work. I had just started the engine and put my car in gear and looked up to see my six year old son's face in the passenger window. When I took him back inside, I asked the two women sitting in the room where all the kids were if they had seen my son run back out the door and their response was just as startling as the image of my little boy's face in my window as i nearly pulled out. "We saw him come in with his sister, but we didn't see him run out... he must've been really fast."
My question is... what if it had been someone else's child, what if it had been a toddler that had run out and gotten behind my car... what if I hadn't seen him? What am I paying these people for? My children may be just as safe if I left them at home alone... For that matter, this daycare has been open for 20 years, surely the sex offenders in the area are aware of how negligent the staff is... what if they hang out near the parking lot and wait for a stray child to step outside the door. It only takes a moment for ANYTHING to happen.
