I assume he just didn't make a fuss about it and so it didn't get noticed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700979 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 06:58:08 +0000 Adira 2700979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my daycare had to report every time my kid got bruised, they'd have to report it every single day! Kids this age are accident prone and get bumps and bruises all the time! It's pretty normal.</p> <p>My daycare will usually report cuts, even if they aren't entirely sure what happened. And they'll report big bumps, like the time my kid collided with another kid and banged heads. But for what you are describing, that wouldn't warrant a report. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700967 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 06:11:58 +0000 nana87 2700967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get a report. But, are your los nails long or uneven? Given that it's on his face, could he have scratched his face/eyes while rubbing them? Lo does this sometimes and has at school and we don't get a note for that. Notes are more for falls that she cries about, even if she isn't actually hurt (like last week we got one about a nonexistent scrape on her knee that she cried about for 1 min lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700966 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 06:09:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2700966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked something similar too when LO started daycare. Sometimes it's nice to know that daycare notices the out of ordinary even if they don't know the cause. </p> <p>Unless their is an incident report behind the accident or out of ordinary my daycare does not formally report it. We have to sign incident reports. After bringing up a few times scratches that left a mark for days my daycare teachers brought up new marks they noticed at pick up. I also found any concerns I relayed with one teacher was discussed when the other came in. If the morning teacher doesn't know you asked about the scrapes and bruises with the afternoon teacher definitely bring everyone in the loop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700965 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 05:45:46 +0000 MrsRoo 2700965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: ours does this too. And I also find it a little over the top.</p> <p>I will say that there are some times when I pick up DD1 and her regular teacher has gone for the day, so I don't get much if any report from the other teachers (they group together the 3's and 4's after 4pm). But when I see her regular teacher the next morning she will typically give me more details about the previous day. So if you're still concerned and want more information, maybe you could talk to your sons morning teacher at drop off and just let her know you'd like more information about bumps in the future. @macintosh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700963 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 04:54:07 +0000 MsMini 2700963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours reports every. single. thing. that leaves a mark. Even if they didn't see it happen. I honestly find it SO over the top. I am signing at least 1 per day between my 2 kids and it is exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700962 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 04:50:41 +0000 Ms. RV 2700962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless daycare sees it happen (or hears it), we don't get a report. They have 10 toddlers between two teachers and can't watch all of them every second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700956 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 03:01:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2700956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry. If they didn't see it and it's not a huge mark there's a chance it was a bump that wasn't noticed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700955 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 02:29:10 +0000 Kemma 2700955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>General grazes etc aren't usually written up but they're usually mentioned when we're picking up the kids, anything more serious (or witnessed) gets written up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700954 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 01:27:16 +0000 sapphire 2700954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we get a written report if they saw what happened but if the LO didn't fuss that much and was outside, I could see it being missed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700952 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 00:38:17 +0000 PawPrints 2700952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get a report *if* they saw it happen, which they frequently don't. Can't catch every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700950 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 00:10:45 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2700950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not everything and I would not necessarily expect a report for something like this but it would have been nice of them to at least mention it to you. My dd didn't start school til three though. (Well right before 3.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-report-cuts-and-scrapes#post-2700948 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 00:03:56 +0000 macintosh 2700948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love DS's new daycare, but something small happened today and it's bugging me. It could be that I'm anxious about enrolling him full time next month, or maybe I just don't care for this one teacher.</p> <p>DS is under 2 but he's had his share of bad scrapes to his face while he was becoming mobile and learning to walk, mostly in my care. When the nanny sees him fall or bump his head she always lets me know, even if there's no mark.</p> <p>Today at pickup he had a small red mark and scrape right above his nose. It's small and will probably not be noticeable tomorrow, but when I asked the teacher she said she didn't see anything happen. It could be because she only works afternoons. I know they have a lot of kids to keep an eye on and they might not see every incident, but is it weird to expect that someone would have noticed?</p> <p>Feel free to tell my of my expectation are too high or I'm being ultra-paranoid :wink: </p>
