Most daycare places do have both numbers; however, parents have a tendency to take day off (particularly Fridays in summer) and don't always notify daycare.

I'm not sure the daycare people have the responsibility of tracking down kids in the custody of their parents.

geez, people!!! I'm not saying it's the daycare's RESPONSIBILITY...I'm saying a phonemail message might have jogged someone's memory!!

Speaking of daycare...here's and idea for them.

(If this idea has not been implemented yet, I hope nobody tries to use it for profit making.).

As soon as a baby, infant, or child is enrolled in a daycare center, that center should have stickers available that can be pasted on a family's car as a reminder to check and make sure that a child is not beiing forgotten inside the car. And, the daycare center should take it upon itself to paste those stickers in the car, otherwise, the parents may just throw them in the car and forget about them. Those stickers must be very visible while at the same time not turning the vehicle into an eyesore.

Sticker suggestion: CHECK INSIDE VEHICLE FOR CHILDREN!!!!

Maybe 4 or 5 well-placed stickers might do.

That could be a temporary solution until a better alarm system for vehicles is developed.
