As a parent, you do a lot to make sure your home is safe and that your little ones stay away from dangerous objects. Knives, scissors, and exposed nails or screws are obvious ones to keep away from children. Unfortunately, kids can be seriously injured when negligent daycares don’t childproof a space. Sharp object injuries at daycare can happen in a variety of ways.
Examples of Sharp Objects That Pose Danger to Kids
Most commonly, the list includes:
- Scissors being misused or given to unsupervised children
- Leaving broken cups or glass around kids
- Or a child running into an exposed nail in the building or on a playground.
Sharp Object Injuries Children Might Sustain at Daycare
