Incident

In their defence looking through the black bars reveals that there are multiple caretakers collectively taking care of the children, so it becomes necessary to track what care has already been given to the kids so all the adults can coordinate.
no?????? If thats the case the groups are too big!! I have a child in daycare and I'd be horrified if there was such a bustle that the adults need to log every action they take because otherwise a kid might not get his diapers changed!!

Wtf is this so though? I hate this trend or having to stop working every 2 seconds to prove you are working.
Looks like a daycare that's taking care of toddlers and infants. Logging these events makes a bit more sense as you have to be at least roughly aware of this stuff to keep an eye out for potential health issues. The kid isn't able to convey things directly so you have to look for signs. If diapers aren't being soiled, then you might need a medical exam, for example.
The precision of the timestamps might seem a bit needlessly specific, but if you are noting it electronically, might as well let the system time-stamp it.

I would think that they dont stack a caregiver that hard with infants and full on running 2+ year olds. But I still would rather them just spend a few min talking to me then having to log shit.
We're just talking about doing a diaper change. I don't know how you can call that "stacking a caregiver hard".

I'm not sure I agree. 10 or so kids lets them get a lot of practice socializing, with 3-4 caretakers. Without a tool like this, it's really easy to miss that nobody's needed to change little Mikey's diaper today - but that's information that can be important for them and the parents to know.

Yeah, let’s have concussed children take a nap

Sounds like your kid goes to a horrible childcare.

came here to say just this, just seeing a feed of your childs interactions at another space is fucking weird. Why goto this logging level? Isnt it just good enough of, yeah they napped well today, and they hit there head, it scared them but we got them calmed and an ice pack just in case.
I feel like this is what helicopter parenting but they have to work so this is what they want and they need to calm down, they dont even monitor the indoor air at this level and that has been shown to be a big contributor of poor mental performance then just being at day care with sun and playing with others.
I also think it’s dystopian but it is quite helpful information to know when they were fed and/or napped. If you pick up your child and they are unusually hungry or tired, etc it can be helpful. I doubt the caretakers have time to talk to each parent or they change shifts. Paper forms are popular at less fancy places

That’s not a very good job of redacting the names. The boxes aren’t fully opaque, I can read the names through them.
Hadn't noticed. I think you'd have to try to get translucent boxes versus a simple solid box. Seems intentional?

Let's not put the blame only on the parents. Anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds working for a corp would understand that taking credit for work does not mean the work got done.
Assuming the diapers aren't tracked by barcode and there isn't an independent inspector validating each operation, I would be MORE wary about my kid being well taken care of at a place that measures and tracks work this way. Especially since the types of management that would think this was a good idea are also the type to not understand how work actually gets done and drives to making the metrics look good at the expense of actually caring for human children.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I have to log timesheets at work to say what I've been doing. I have a section everyday in my timetable schedule to fill in the timesheet. So when I'm filling in the timesheet I have to actually tell them what I was doing for that 4 minutes worth of time.
3:30 p.m. to 3:34 p.m. - filling in timesheet
Really?

If I had a kid I would want them to spend as much time as possible looking after the kid. I don't need them to tell me that they're doing that, I assumed that they're doing that so I'm no better off.
Also everyone estimates those things anyway.

Agreed on the diaper change one, but the first half is literally what you said with a timestamp. The nap one is important because if they did or didn't nap, you can adjust what you do after
Have you had kids? Did you attend any of their doctor appointments?
Knowing how often their diaper is changed is medical information the doctors will ask.

wrote last edited by [email protected]A few minutes talking to you (and every other parent at pickup) is way, way, waaaaay more time than the 5 seconds it takes to log each thing. You say "just," but your request is at least 10x as expensive.

You either haven't had kids or it's been a reeeaaaally long time... We don't support child care in the US, something like 80% of daycares are understaffed.

wrote last edited by [email protected]You might overestimate the time it takes to fill reports. It gives them more time anyways because else parents would discuss with them after work
It’s also nice to detect any potential problem or trend
If I see such report, I would instantly have more trust in them. It’s reassuring

Daycare is kind of intense.
You have a bunch of parents who would rather be with their kids. They're paying close to their own mortgage/rent to have their kids watched. They're convinced that the teens/young adults the daycare hires are not doing anything. Their kids are there with a load of other kids, pick up bad habits, get bullied and yelled at by kids in worse home situations. As soon any any scratch or scrape happens they want to know know for those prices.
The timesheets give them solace that their kid is being watched, fed, changed, and taken care of emotionally.
it's not necessary, but it's not hard to see why it happens

Additional notes: I was assassinating another child
Is this daycare or militia camp?
I don't think the military or even prison tracks individuals with this level of verbose. I feel like I'm reading debugging logs.

I also have kids in daycare, and while they're able to provide ample individual care, once you get past one adult to a specific set of kids and the kids swap between adults it becomes a much greater risk of missing someone's need because they can't communicate it clearly.
It also can make it faster to know when something last happened if you weren't the one to do it. If a kids fussy and the person who's been looking after them all morning has gone to lunch you can just look over and see that they got up from a nap recently, got a diaper change and that it's almost time for food.It's not about cramming so many kids in that you can barely keep track and more about recognizing that you're caring for someone else's kids and so taking every reasonable step to ensure there aren't mistakes, as well as demonstrating to the parents that you've done so.
Our daycare has a list on the wall with the name of every kid in the room next to their evacuation plan and emergency kit (big baby/little baby rooms are connected. Sometimes they rebalance for lunch or just different activities which is when they update the list)
I have absolute confidence that in the event of an emergency they wouldn't need to use the list, and also that they would still go down the list and look directly at each kid and also do a sweep while doing whatever response they needed.As someone who's done a bit of work on procedures around systems and making sure they avoid negative outcomes I appreciate there being a process and checklist that's routinely followed.
Also, the digital lists are really more for the parents to be informed about what's going on. I know that I appreciate knowing where precisely they are in their routine when I do pickup.

That doesn't seem weirdly detailed to me? Kid bumped their head and they wrote down what happened.
