Sounds like a really good way to have half of these things forgotten throughout the day and never told to the parents 🤷♂️ logging this on the tablet takes literally 5 seconds, instead of having to spend 5 minutes with each parent at pickup
Yeah, I’d also rather talk with the person taking care of my child. So you can tell how they’re doing, as this will reflect on your kid. I prefer those 5 minutes.
Regardless, if they’re logging, you can talk to them about the important parts without wasting several hours of important staff time every day between all of the parents. This isn’t instead of talking to them, it’s in addition.
If it’s important they’ll remember. Talking to people, seeing how they’re doing, isn’t a waste of time in my opinion. Au contraire, it’s rather important!
It’s an app. Do you actually think they’re manually entering the time? The app is probably just rounding to the nearest 10 for display purposes. There’s also a legal obligation to fill out an incident report.
You’re caring for someone else’s child and the law says if you felt the need to do something (ice pack) then the parents deserve documentation with timeline and response. Do you have a different criteria that’s good for when a non-medical caregiver should need to tell a parent something happened to their kid?
Oh, I assumed you thought people were spending a lot of time entering timestamps. Do you think this is a particularly onerous process for them, or that the parents need to like, acknowledge each log? They just push a button to select the kid and tap another to select the event. Maybe type a description if it’s an incident report. It’s significantly easier for them than logging it any other way, and it ensures parents get the information on food, diapers and whatnot.
I am confused how you see this as care by flowchart. Daycare staff aren’t medical professionals. They aren’t qualified to make objective decisions about what’s an “important” event to notify parents of in a consistent manner. What country are you in where the parental notification laws are “I dunno, if you feel like it I guess”?
Look at the timestamps: 1:20 1:30 1:40 2:30 ridiculous.
Could just go: oh yeah he bumped his head today when parents come pick him up instead.

You still ignored the first half.

Absolutely fucking braindead take.
Do you distrust the people who take care of your kid this much?
Sure, but those 5 minutes add up in a whole daycare.

I was referring to the amount of them. 3 in half an hour 😕 For no good reason.
Luckily the law is different where I live. I’d rather have my child taken care of by a human, instead of a flowchart :)
