Safety Issues at Daycare

Hi, I ran a successful daycare for ten years in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a responsible daycare provider, you must get inside the brains of those toddlers and children. Some of the habits I adopted such as, never leaving any objects on edge of the table, remote controls high on top of the television, no children in the kitchen,never leaving them in the bathroom alone for but a few minutes, saved me from a ton of headaches and have to write incident reports. However, the most important valuables at my center were the children and their safety. If a child got injuried at your facility you could be in serious trouble, not only with the parents, but the county as well. Smart daycare providers always have enough helpers and stay two steps ahead of the children. Parents should go with their gut feelings about the center of choice. Never be afraid to take your child to another center if the first one doesn't work out.
