Yours Mine & Ours After School

Unsafe and untrustworthy practices comes to mind when I think about Yours, Mine, & Ours Day Care. I am not a parent but work at a school, from which the Yours, Mine & Ours’ bus picks up children. Amongst staff, it is widely known that the van will leave children in the afternoon. Today I walked a very young child to the bus lot to get on the bus and saw the bus pulling off a few seconds after the dismissal bell rang. I had to flag the bus down, and the driver hollered a child’s name, asking if that child was the one left. I told her that it was another child. Luckily, she came back and picked up the child. It bothers me that a young child would have been left by the bus for being a few seconds late and that the driver would not even know who she left. If I were a parent paying a daycare center to take care of my child and transport him or her from school to the facility safely, I would be outraged to hear of any child, especially mine, being left! The drivers should have the decency to check to make sure all children are accounted for and ask a teacher or other staff member serving for bus duty if the child was absent that day. That information comes to all staff as an absentee report daily. There is no excuse for what I saw from Yours, Mine, & Ours!
