I personally think that people go a little overboard with their concern about pictures on facebook, but I know that A TON of people disagree with me on it. I always ask permission to post pictures if I'm not sure how someone feels, regardless of my thoughts on the matter. I would expect a daycare to have pretty strict controls on those pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739988 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:44:53 +0000 Dandelion 739988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: My son's school did this...they have my written permission to post his face online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739974 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:41:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 739974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not over reacting! I share pics &amp; videos of LO on fb, &amp; i wouldm't be comfortable with a public page. Maybe if private to only the daycare families, but idk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739914 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:24:50 +0000 plaidpants 739914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: That's definitely true! As strict non-FB parents, my husband and I have a heck of a time keeping LO offline. Our family is very respectful of it (we are very lucky) but, like you said, it gets harder with parties and playdates when you are with people you don't know well and who may have a different comfort level with posting pictures on FB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739908 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:22:36 +0000 heffalump 739908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like they have to have permission slips for that. I wouldn't sign it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739901 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:20:32 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 739901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plaidpants: I dont have a little one and do not feel comfortable with the pics either. Even for the kids with parental consent I would want them photographed from behind. This post makes me realize FB-posting-parents may display my future kids' pics from parties and playdates :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739882 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:15:03 +0000 plaidpants 739882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so glad I'm not overreacting! My friend (who does not have a LO yet - I don't know if that's relevant) was making me feel SO crazy that I was not okay with this. She was like, "This is the new normal. I don't get why this bothers you."</p> <p>This is also the same person who vocally and dramatically told me how gross she thought it was that I "forced" my LO to eat a veggie burger. She's currently TTC and I'm guessing we are going to have many parenting "agree to disagree" conversations in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739860 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:08:28 +0000 rawrasaur 739860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is crazy. What really bothers me is the safety concerns - any weirdo can look at it and take interest in a child and know where they child spends most of their day. I don't have a problem posting my kids picture online, but I do have a problem with people knowing where my kid lives/spends a lot of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739796 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:45:27 +0000 Mrs. Train 739796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You usually have to sign a waiver. I don't think thy can use a child picture at all Facebook, websites, posters, etc without your consent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739787 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:41:11 +0000 birdofafeather 739787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wouldn't be comfortable with a public page and my LO's photo. i post tons of photos on my own page, but that's different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739677 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:10:55 +0000 mrsmenow 739677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not be down with this at all:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739665 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:08:21 +0000 Bookish 739665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plaidpants: Oh, no way are you crazy! I would be pretty upset about that too. We already plan on keeping LO's picture off of FB as much as possible and using private photo sites, and it would make me uncomfortable for her picture to be everywhere! I definitely agree with the PP's that you can talk to the day care about the photo release that they have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739629 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:59:28 +0000 LivsMama 739629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plaidpants: Our daycare center has a photo release form that EVERY parent must fill out. It says what the center may and may not use your childs photos for. We told them they could use Livs for photo albums and displays within the center and church, but nothing in print, promotional, or online. Im guessing your center will have the same option. I would NOT be comfortable with her pic on FB at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739575 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:40:32 +0000 plaidpants 739575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SAHM0811: I would love a private photo page! LO's old daycare used to email me pics occasionally and it was so nice to see her during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739563 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:37:58 +0000 plaidpants 739563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much, mamas! I'm glad to hear I'm not totally crazy, and also that the daycare will most likely be understanding if I don't want my LO on FB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739554 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:36:40 +0000 SAHM0811 739554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our previous preschool had a private shutterfly website for parents. I loved it... Got email alerts when pics of her were uploaded. I could also order the pics! And it was private so no worries there.</p> <p>Our current school does have a public FB page now and I follow it in FB. I've seen my kid in one picture.... they don't post much and usually don't post solos of the kids... It's usually a group picture and they are busy doing some kind of activity... and they don't tag parents, so I don't really mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739549 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:34:12 +0000 regberadaisy 739549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plaidpants: my daycare has a FB page and they ask for our permission to post pictures. I declined bc I'm not comfortable with pictures of M on a public page. I've yet to see one of her on there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739542 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:33:02 +0000 daniellemybelle 739542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has weirded me out too, but I think it is really common. I would just ask if the parents sign forms permitting pictures of their kids to be posted publicly. If so, I don't have a problem with it. You can just decline to give permission for your LO, and hopefully there is a way for you to privately receive photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739536 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:31:53 +0000 mrsjyw 739536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm a fb user and i would NOT be ok with this. i would ask the daycare about their policy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739532 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:30:43 +0000 littlek 739532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare has a facebook page and I actually really like it. It's great getting to see pictures of my LO during the day. It's not like they tag your kid in the picture, so I don't think it's a big deal. But I'm sure you can ask them not to take pictures of your child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739526 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:28:57 +0000 mamabolt 739526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our's doesn't have FB, but we had to sign a photo release for our daycare and we stipulated we did not want photos put on any website. They can take pics of her that are displayed in the classroom and used for art projects only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739446 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:04:38 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 739446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You would, presumably, have to sign a waiver saying that you give permission for them to use your LO's photo. If you don't sign it, they shouldn't be able to post pictures of her. I work in education, and we ask our parents to do this. If we don't have explicit permission, we won't post any photos of their kids on FB, our web page, etc. </p> <p>I'd be really surprised if you're the only parent there with these concerns. It's definitely worth bringing up when you visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739444 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:04:15 +0000 MaisyMay 739444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would explain that you aren't comfortable with it and ask that they not use any photos of your LO. That sounds reasonable to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739438 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:03:16 +0000 Boheme 739438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plaidpants: They might not even know! One of my friends found out her daycare had a public FB page when a mutual friend tagged her in a pic of her LO... and she about lost her mind. Nope, you are most certainly not the only one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739431 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:02:29 +0000 lilteacherbee 739431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work at a daycare and the parents were told about the Facebook page. They could sign a permission slip if they wanted their kids on the page. If not, the daycare just didn't post any pictures of that child. I don't think the children ever noticed that they were/were not on Facebook, unless their parents showed it to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739428 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:01:35 +0000 plaidpants 739428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: OK, so I'm not totally crazy? I want to like this place, but I don't want LO to be like...an outcast because she can't be in any pictures. I haven't talked to the place about it yet. I mean, I can't be the only parent there who has a concern about this, right?Maybe there are others? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739413 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:58:52 +0000 Boheme 739413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way would I be ok with it. We won't even be posting pics of our OWN LO on our private Facebook pages, much less someone else posting pics on a public page. Nope. That would make it a no go for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-on-facebook#post-739403 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:57:07 +0000 plaidpants 739403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying to find daycare for my LO and we've found a place that seems good. We are visiting next week to check it out. In the meantime, I was clicking around on their website and they have a "check us out on Facebook" button. I clicked over and they have a very active, public page where they post pictures of the kids pretty regularly. This makes me really uncomfortable. I could see if it was a private page for parents and caregivers, but I really don't want pictures of my LO on a public, business page. </p> <p>I talked to a friend about it and she says I'm being crazy, that everyone and everything is on FB now. But my husband and I are really not FB people and we never post pictures of our LO there.</p> <p>It really wouldn't bother me as much if it was a private page, but I just feel weird about a public page that anyone can access. Am I overreacting? Does your caregiver have an active FB page? Is this just how it is now? </p>
