@Bao: Is it during drop off time? I am kind of unclear as to when/why it is happening...are the kids waiting for the bus, to be picked up?
Maybe the answer lies in the procedure to get the kids out of the school...could it be that they're using the TV in order to free up the teachers for something else? If you find out what that "something else" is, you might be able to better frame a discussion ( I like to propose a solution/alternative rather than just make a complaint).

I "think" my LO watches 0 minutes of TV or screen time at school. One time I got there and they were gathered around a computer watching some of those little kid music videos on youtube - which I didn't love cause LO gets hooked and asks for them non-stop - but it has happened once in 4 months so I think it's not the norm. They definitely do not have any TVs in the school.

Wow, that is crazy! My DD's preschool (attached to her primary school) has zero TV time, but they do have computers and smart boards for interactive learning, which I am totally fine with. Kids nowadays need to learn how to use technology, but that does not include watching tv. I'd be super unhappy to know that my child was regularly watching cartoons during the school day.

@looch: it's during pick up
-
@Bao: I would ask one of the teachers about it, try to find out why they're doing that.
Maybe they need help with the car pick up line, or dont have a place for the bus pick up kids to go? Just trying to think from their side of things.

our daycare only does a tv show/screen time on days that it's too hot to play outside. I only know this because it was 102 here on Monday and my husband said they were watching Peppa Pig when he picked up in the afternoon, during what is usually their outside play time. If those are the circumstances, I'm ok with it. But definitely not as a regular occurence. We are paying WAAAY too much money for daycare to have them watching movies!

None. No screen policy for every room at our daycare (6 weeks - 5 years). Same for teachers which means no phone or app updates but I'm ok with that!
-
zero, and I would be really pissed if I saw that happening.
We're still in daycare, and they have brought out a laptop and projector to look at and listen to videos of "real" animals when they were reading Brown Bear. I'm fine with that, as it is a clear educational link to the illustrated book. But daily? And just for cartoons? no way.
-
None for us.

I think if it relates to the instruction (like videos of animals as in @MrsLonghorn's example) or if it is a special occasion like a holiday, sure. And I mean, as kids get older I know there are going to be substitute teachers and days they watch whatever the modern equivalent is of Bill Nye The Science Guy
But in Kindergarten, I would not be cool with Peppa Pig on the regular.
