Check the DNA. When I worked in daycare centres I was not allowed to leave the site with more than 5 children on my own. you NEED a second adult to leave the premises. This was when I ran the school-age program. Preschool program might actually have a lower number to leave on your own. I am certain leaving with 8 children is a HUGE rule breaker...like they will fine your daycare big time.

Your daycare owner/manager should have made this clear to you!!!
