>>>We had a daycare incident this week, and I'm headed there in about an hour to chat with them about it. Just wanted to explain the situation and see if anybody has any suggestions on how to proceed.
>>>
>>>Last week at daycare (a public daycare w/ over a dozen children in the room, but 1 observer for every 4 children) my son (15 months) grabbed a bottle of watered down bleach used to clean the diaper changing tables. The lid wasn't fastened and it spilled, but luckily it only spilled on his pants. I had a talk with them about it, and they were very apologetic and forthcoming about everything. We were reimbursed for the ruined pants (no big deal) and were pretty happy with the way it was handled.
>>>
>>>We got a call yesterday that the same exact thing happened, except this time it spilled into his eyes. They flushed it right away and called us. We took him to the doctor and then to the eye doctor, and they flushed it out and gave him some drops, but were told there was no permanent damage.
>>
>>How in hell is anything with bleach in it within reach of any child there? And it happens more than once??!!
>>
>>My child would be gone and we'd be warning the parents of every child at the daycare.

>They use a bleach/water mixture to sanitize the changing tables after they are use. I think it's state code for them to do that, and to actually use bleach.

I assume it probably is. But I'm absolutely sure state codes will also require anything with hazardous chemicals be completely out of reach of a child.

>Yes, the fact that it happened even once is very concerning. We were told the issue would be corrected, and then it happened again.

>Maybe I'm looking for somebody to call me crazy for even considering the arrangement could be salvaged. This isn't about convenience to us - we really feel this is a very good place for him to be. He's always very stimulated when he comes home, and he acts very affectionate to the caretakers. It seemed too good to be true.
