“I love children and have been a licensed child care provider since 1989. Since moving to Butte, Montana four years ago, I have opened up my home as a comprehensive child care program for families in the area.
Just a while ago, one of my kids — a spirited two-year old girl who’s been in my care since 2014 — fell onto a storage crate and split her chin, requiring seven stitches. She’s always been an active little thing, and loves to dance and spin around. I had taken my eyes off her for just a second as I was changing out holiday decorations. Of course, the mother was upset and wanted to know for sure what happened. By going through surveillance footage from my 4-camera analog system, I was able to show the mother that it was indeed just an accident and that there hadn’t been any other children or violence involved. It gave us the peace of mind we both needed.
I set up cameras on the outside of my home child care as well. Butte is a beautiful old mining town, so I’ve been enjoying living in a generally peaceful, historic district. However, my home is directly across from a university, so I do have to be mindful that there are often college students roaming around. They are mostly well-behaved and friendly, but I prefer to take extra precautions as there are young children in my care. The outdoor cameras ended up helping us track down two intruders in the past year! One man attempted to break into both our Subaru and our Dodge Avenger. The Butte police were able to confirm the man’s identity using footage from my surveillance system, and it turned out he had broken into several other vehicles in the area. Later that year, another intruder stole Halloween ornaments from my yard. At first the police weren’t too keen on responding to stolen Halloween ornaments, but they were very willing to take action once I informed them that I had footage of the whole thing.
I have found my surveillance system to be such a blessing in helping me protect my home and the children here. It makes me proud to be able to offer advanced surveillance as part of my licensed daycare home.”
