For as often as play dates or random pickup happens, it's not been an issue for me. I live in a smaller city too so that probably helps. Most times I have dc families that know each other or we have mutual friends online.
I do not understand the logic here. So because I don't want strangers around my children, my self and daycare children we shouldn't be doing daycare? Not likely if parents want to keep tabs which I know MANY do then go to a centre with cameras. I am not a 12 year old babysitter that needs checking up on. I keep my business very professional and do not befriend my clients for me that is a no no.
