my goodness you have a tendency to exaggerate.
In any given daycare group, per day, you could expect zero to five kids to be absent depending on what time of the year it is (flu season, holidays...etc)
Parents are usually requested to call the school when they know their child will be absent, so that takes care of most of the calls right there.
Of the 1 or 2 kids who may not call in, the center may have to use 1-3 mins to call and check.
The calls should be local calls.
I don’t see how this has anything to do with your cost-benefit analysis.
If a simple call can alert a parent to a roasting baby in a car, then I’m still all for it.
My goodnes you have a tendency to not understand stuff.

Yes that's obvious.
