What do you think about having CCTVs in infant/child care centres? Do most infant/child care centres have CCTVs?

When I read about cases such as these: http://sg.theasianparent.com/is-this-a-case-of-infant-abuse-or-accident/ http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/girl-2-found-with-injuries-at-childcare-centre https://sg.news.yahoo.com/msf--police-investigate-baby-scalding-incident-at-pap-childcare-centre-035259766.html It certainly makes a case for having CCTVs in infant/child care centres. While I found it difficult to understand how people who choose to work in such environment to end up displaying such actions, I think sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry. I do not think that having CCTV will prevent such cases from happening, but I think it will act as a deterrent. It could also help in investigations of alleged cases. It's usefulness could also extend to capturing any unauthorized access of any outsiders. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any available list that note down the centres with CCTV installed. Hence, it is better to ask about this when looking for a suitable infant/child care centre if you are considering one.

I think it's important to have CCTVs in childcare/infantcares. Reason is simple, your child is too young to defend himself or might be afraid to speak up for himself. Like Hui Qun mention, there have been so many cases of abuse and bullying so with CCTVs around, I would feel much more at ease. Should anything happen, at least we can fall back on the CCTVs to see what had actually happen. Your child is yours but it is important to remember that the childcare has other kids to look after you. An accident or incident only takes a few seconds to happen so CCTVs would help to have a constant view of how things are.

Yeap, that's the main reason why I asked. I have read a similar thread in a preschool teachers forum where the teachers complained that they feel watched and said something like "How would you like it if there was a camera focused on you while you worked?" Personally, I would like to send my child to a centre with security cameras installed because it can capture the exact situation instead of having to rely fully on the teacher's verbal testimony.

Yes It's important that the IFC/CCs you are planning to go shld have CCTV. it's one of my requirements. I will even asked about the CCTV placement to know where did they place the CCTV and where is the main monitor located at. At times things happen and the teachers themselves unable to catch it. So what happen is, the teacher went to re-wind the footage to actually find out what went wrong too. it's an assurance to us and teachers too.

There absolutely should be CCTV's cameras in the day care centres. They help in keeping track of even those things which are missed by the teachers. And there's least possibility of missing track of anything. http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Research/Probiotics-again-show-anti-diarrhea-potential-for-kids-Yakult

Furthermore, I don't think a teacher can fully see what's going on around her 24/7 at 360 degrees. The spilt second that she turned to give another kid her attention is enough for something to happen. That's just my thoughts

Yes. When such a facility is available the why not? It will help teachers and staff also in keeping vigilance at par. There is left no room for any wrong doing as everything will be monitored.

Good to have cctv. Most private schools have it but their rule is for staff to view footage only

Good idea. This is to protect the safety of the young ones and the teachers.
