You are wrong, period, and would not be allowed within a mile of children if you we're interviewing for a job. People only want cowboys to care for children in the movies, where you apparently envision yourself.
Don't EVER work in an area where you are the one responsible for MY grandchildren. I swear to everything holy that you and your regulation worshiping tail would not like the result if one of them were harmed by your insistence to follow some STUPID regulation.
So you would prefer that your grandchild is left alone?
What do you suppose the reaction would be if one of those children who were left unattended had been harmed?
Who would have been responsible?
I can see both sides. Leaving kids unattended is a BIG no no and can get your Day Care license suspended.
Not an easy call. But I would have repremanded her privately and retrained her on sticking with her charge. Then probably given her a day off with pay as a reward.
What would have happened had she become trapped, disabled and the fire spread killing her then killing the children because and adult was not their to get them out of the building.
It far fetched but I see weird things like that happen.
For those who say it was just nuggets burning in the oven. Ok then why not yell out to another adult to take care of it or have them watch the kids while she dispatches the fire?
As a parent, I would hope whoever is watching my child, has his safety as a number one priority. I think she did the right thing. She was there and judged the situation as she thought was fit. Maybe she should be a fire fighter where she won't be punished for saving people's life.

Leaving your child ALONE is viewing his safety as the number one priority?????
Here's how it works when children are in your care.
Your first responsibility is safety of the children. You are trained to help and protect the children.
You are NOT trained to fight fires. That's why you have a rule to stay with the children.
You all are saying the most ridiculous things just for an opportunity slam the daycare owner and complain about regulations. So it was a small microwave fire. The rules are written to take everything into account and NEVER assume that is will turn put to be just a small microwave fire.
It could have been a huge microwave fire. It could have been a chemical fire. It could have been right inside the door so that the teacher could be injured upon opening the door, and them the precious children would have been on their own.
Ask any firefighter if they want civilians in buildings full of people to play Fisher Price Firefighter. Civilians very often make fires worse. Evidently all of you geniuses posting here about "common sense" missed that lesson in first grade.
As a lifeguard in an inner city YMCA, I once had an experience like this. A fire alarm went off. A manager ignores rules and decides that instead of seeing to the safety of patrons, she'd go see for herself.
I knew the rules. I did nothing except evacuate the pool IMMEDIATELY. By the time the manager had satisfied her curiosity, and discovered that an old house just a few feet away from where the chlorine storage shed was fully engulfed, I has all adults and children our of that pool AND out of the locker room safely down the street and undert supervision.
What a pathetic bunch of whiners on this thread. I hope none of you are ever in charge of other people playing cowboy.

What would you know about children? Oh wait... Don't tell us... You read about in in a book written by Dr. Benjamin Spock.
And this is why you will never be employed at a childcare facility. They don't want people who use what is your own highly subjective definition of "common sense." They want people who follow rules that are made for a reason.
End of story.
Uh oh a liberal has posted "end of story". LOL
"And this is why you will never be employed at a childcare facility"
Thank the Lord. Why anybody would want to work for low pay to listen to a bunch of kids running around screaming all day long then listen to their parents who are to busy to watch them come pick em up and complain about how you aren't doing a good job is beyond me.
So you would prefer that your grandchild is left alone?
What do you suppose the reaction would be if one of those children who were left unattended had been harmed?

If the RULE is go into the basement if the tornado sirens go off, yet the basement is rapidly filling with water due to torrential rainfall, I would think any sane person would say, well since it was filling with water, they couldn't possibly go into the basement.
Yet you, another (ignored again) person who refuses to allow for any deviation from the rules/regulations, a zero tolerance idiot, would have someone take children into a flooding basement because the rules said they must if the tornado siren sounds.
There is a reason I ignored you. Thank you for reminding me why.
