I work in child care and the regulations behind this are fucked. There’s no gray area and staff risks prison time for not following them. I get how these laws and regulations get implemented. Even “good parents” will think it’s completely reasonable to be late to pick up your children. Once in a while isn’t a problem but when you are in charge of hundreds of kids and too many parents have that mentality it creates a cascade of issues for staff. (child care works have lives too) so please contact the school/facility if you are going to be late and don’t be late constantly.
Here if parents don’t show up, teacher have to call the police to pick the kid (it almost happened to me as I was 5 min late)
