I do lock the daycare door during the day though, is this acceptable? I sometimes feels like it should literally be an "open door" but the reasons I lock it is because of the area I live in and it not being the safest, also I have younger kids that like to play with the handle and could get it open and walk out.
I think your policy makes sense. As a parent I would prefer that the door be locked for safety reasons.
