WWYD? Mom Doesn’t Want Sunscreen

[Peacefulbird]

Busy ece mommy,

When I worked in a centre, if we had repeated instances of necessary supplies missing from a child’s*
Belongings, then we were told to phone CAS to report neglect.

i have worked in centres too and it seemed an issue. I was never told to report CAS unless I suspected child Abuse. I usually solved with them bringing extras so our days can run smoothly.

Some centres (because it seems a common issue, have builted all this extras in their rates others just use the centre stuff and parents get billed at the end of the month with an extra amount I personally find this more effective), others just carry extra stuff (because obviously you might have families that are in real need and many non for profit centres, support their communities ).

If I saw a child, dirty, starved, and improperly dressed obviously thst will rise red flags and CAS had to be involved but not for things that we know families easily forget, I was trained to slso train the parents and find together the best solution to protect their child.

I saw a college centre teacher that during winter will send and message parents with the picture of their child and tell them why they aren't playing with the group or why they had to be left with the other group indoors and had no outdoor time. (Also effective it motivated parents to check their child's cubby to make sure they have all what is needed)
