So I went to check on DS at lunch today (I usually just do a quick head pop in to see what he's up to without him seeing me) and when I was pulling in there's a sign in the parking lot that says yard sale 10-7. I'm like WTF? So I go in and they have a large gym area and that is where the yard sale is being held. The door is a passcode lock system so luckily people aren't just strolling in and I asked the girl at the front if they were monitoring the people from the yard sale and she said yes, they are walking people directly to the gym and there are two people in there that are making sure the randoms don't leave the gym. I just kinda don't know what to think about the deal and no letter or information was sent as a heads up to the parents. Also, I just kind of feel like this could have been done on a weekend when no kids are there? What do you think?
Re: Am I over-reacting -- DC Yard Sale?
I'm actually really surprised they didn't give weeks worth of advance notice and encourage all the parents to attend in order to get a better turn out.
I think it's a little weird they didn't tell the parents, but personally I wouldn't have a problem with it. No matter how the media tries to program us, the likelihood of a kook finding a poorly advertised daycare yard sale and wreaking havoc in some way is very, very, very slim.
Are you new to the center? Or is there some other reason you might have missed the notice? I guess you could ask the director about it, but personally this isn't anything I'd make a huge deal out of.
