How well can you count?
One day, one of the little girls who usually stays until 5:30 or so was nowhere to be found shortly after a new staff came on duty.
She counted the kids and thought she should have one more than she did. So she checked the attendance log - and she still had not enough kids.
She noticed which one was missing…. and had a brief moment of panic when she double-checked and discovered that according to the log, that child should still be in the classroom.
Turns out mom had picked her up early …and the staff had forgotten to sign her out.
Fortunately, the worker in another room knew that she had gone home early …but oy! What a panic!
Really - who would ever want to call a parent and ask if they had their kid or not. Yikes!
Losing a child - that’s about the biggest scare out there.
