So I have a 22 month old child that goes to Kita a few hours a week. Few things relevant to the story. 1. The kita is close to our home. 2. There is a playground next to our building. 3. There is a parking place right outside the playground. 4. There is only one entrance/exit from the playground. Today, was the first time that my child’s group came to the playground. My wife was at home and saw them from the kitchen window, while she was cooking. We have a very clear view of the playground from our kitchen. At first it was funny observing from afar and she even texted me about it. But soon the situation became troubling. In the span of 10 minutes that they were there my wife observed our child leaving the playground, not once but twice while the escorts had absolutely no idea that our child was gone. The first time it was only a few meters outside the playground entrance and in the parking place (likely testing the boundaries) but the second it was a full stroll through the parking lot. This was to a point where my wife could not see our child anywhere (and the escorts were still oblivious) that she ran outside the house to alert them and find our child. Thankfully our child had returned to the playground untill my wife got there. When confronted about it, one of the escorts said that no the child was always there (our child had returned in the meantime without them realizing anything). After my wife told her that this was not the case they accepted it and apologized. However we are still quite shocked about this and at a loss of what to do. We wrote an initial email to the Kita management informing them of the incident. But I am not satisfied as I have trouble feeling safe. I want to send a stronger email asking an explanation of the concrete safety measures tajen during outings, an explanation of the ratios between escorts and children and concrete changes that they would make so that something like this doesn’t happen. Until the time that we have a petsonal meeting and these questions are answered I ask that my child does not participate in such outings. Am I overreacting? A few more details There were 3 escorts, but one of them was on a Schnuppertag. There were about 15 kids. submitted by /u/Less-Bus-9669
