I'm sorry you had such a bad first day. I'm not a parent but as a teacher I try to make things run smooth with the parent/teacher relationship. I'm sorry this is off to such a bad start for you, your husband and Max. You all deserve the best from your childcare providers and it's a shame this was a bad experience so early on.

I can't tell you what to do in terms of telling on them or not, but as an NYC teacher, this brought up HUGE red flags for me. While my school doesn't require any kind of sign out procedure, even for my Pre-Ks, I think it's a major liabilty issue. I'm supposed to trust my students know who's coming to pick them up. I'm supposed to remember if there's anyone NOT supposed to pick up a student. It's too much sometimes when a new face comes! Another school I was at had a sign out procedure for K-2nd grade and while it was complicated, the school knew who each student was leaving with. A daycare with infants should be doing the same.

Hope what I said helped a little....
