Sooooo... Eta but you have to be on the list, which has your dl#, and show your dl before picking up a kid.

Even with a 5 digit punch pad on the door, I'm sure people just let other people in and then you walked right into a room with babies!!

The lady keeps doors locked, backyard is fenced. Also, if not DH or I, whoever picks up A has to show ID and be on our list. Otherwise they will call before releasing her.

Then there is a door beyond that that needs a numeric code typed in to get into the area with the classrooms. But everyone holds the door open for each other so it isn't really 100% safe. Everyone is very friendly and chatty, so I recognize everyone coming in and out. If I didn't, I wouldn't hold the door open. yoursilverlining on "What's the security like at your daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-security-like-at-your-daycare#post-705108 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:35:32 +0000 yoursilverlining 705108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The door is locked; you need to swipe an electronic passcard to get in. If you don't have a card, you have to buzz the intercom, give your name and relationship to child you're there for, and then someone has to open the door for you. There are cameras inside and out, and it's on the campus of a large corporation so security patrols several times a day as well. I was NOT comfortable with some smaller places I toured where you opened the (unlocked) door and the babies were right there; sorry, but no thanks!! prettylizy on "What's the security like at your daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-security-like-at-your-daycare#post-705101 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:33:34 +0000 prettylizy 705101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We use a home daycare, and she keeps the doors locked at all times. When we get there I knock and she unlocks the door to let us in.

I'm fine with this as it's a small operation.

Each family has their own passcode and they change it every few months.

There are two sets of doors that are always locked and a receptionist to buzz you in.

They have cameras in every room. There is a receptionist at the front. You have to scan in to get in. Plus seeing as its a Military daycare center. The Military police swing by every now and again with an armed guard and patrol the area. The classrooms do head counts every 30 mins and the front desk calls to every room every hour to confirm what they have for children scaned in and out matches with the class. brownie on "What's the security like at your daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-security-like-at-your-daycare#post-705002 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:09:12 +0000 brownie 705002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not at all. Kinda scary but beggars and choosers... mamabolt on "What's the security like at your daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-security-like-at-your-daycare#post-705001 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:08:53 +0000 mamabolt 705001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The building is always locked - you need a key fob to get in. If you don't have one there's a doorbell and someone from the staff will come get you. kiddosc on "What's the security like at your daycare?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-security-like-at-your-daycare#post-705000 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:08:40 +0000 kiddosc 705000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ You walk into an entryway where there is a thumbprint scanner to get into the reception area. For people who aren't in the system, there is a window into the reception area for them to speak to an employee who can buzz them in. The reception desk is always staffed and there are three doors from that area to different areas of the daycare. The receptionist buzzes you through the correct door to get to your child. I appreciate that level of security in a center where there are a lot of people in and out. If I was using a home provider I don't think I'd worry about it as much.

You walk in the front door and there is a lobby with a reception desk. Usually 1-2 ladies up front. From there, there are two doors (one to the right and one to the left) that go to hallways of classrooms. These doors are locked and the receptionists have to hit a button to unlock the doors. From there each classroom has a door (not locked) and you have to go in and get your child and sign them out (on paper). The teachers also keep paper records of students checking in and out.

You have to have a key fob to enter the building. There is a reception office.

Is there a reception office? If the security isn't very tight, are you okay with that?
