>>>>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.

Yes, for sure. I'm not making any excuses for them. I'm also well aware that I'm probably in not a sound-enough mind to make this decision right now, which is why I've made other arrangements until the decision is made.
