Wow I never heard of a playgroup that has livestream camera access

Because legally there are issues with allowinh others to have access to viewing unrelated children, unless parents sign a waiver for their child. It's very possible that one of the parents objected and that's why she is stopping it.

Do you plan on keeping her home?
If so then sure pull her out and enjoy, but you will not find a gan that has a camera for parents to access.
I would request maybe a couple photos a week if possible.

How does it work? You sit on the floor playing or dance with the kids and any father can casually log in and watch you do that? That alone would make me uncomfortable.

That's up to the father, if he chooses to do so. Nothing so crazy to see a teacher making Choo Choo trains or jumping with toddlers..

For those saying to pop in - It's very disruptive for playgroup ages when parents do that. Some kids think they are going home, and start crying. It really disturbs the routine.

It’s not up to the father to choose how the morah wants to be seen.
I was once in this situation - I was photographed accidentally while I „popped in“ sitting next to my toddler in the room of kids, in a pretty unflattering position. I wasn’t excited that this photo was broadcast to every family.

I read most of the messages but I don’t think anyone said this straight out. Op, you are being unreasonable. To take out a kid from her current settings just because you have anxiety for no valid reason is not fair to your child. If anyone would ask me this question irl I’d tell this to their faces. If you don’t trust that Morah, don’t send there at all. To me it sounds like over protective/ helicopter parenting which is unhealthy.

I guess cctv that parents can watch is so far out my experience, it's not something I would be bothered about.
I do my research on the morah. I visit her house and you get a vibe from them. I visited and spoke with several before I decided on one. I also went by recommendations of people I knew. I also knew which people to take their recommendations less seriously than others.
We all have different things we care about. My sister was looking for a home feel environment where the morah was laidback and easygoing and she was happy with one morah. I personally didn't like that morah as I felt it wasn't professional and I wanted my child to be more stimulated than what she was offering. But then I work in education and I'm much more particular than she is about these things.
Op, I get you are anxious about leaving your child, and that's a normal feeling that most mothers have. But we do our research and a good gauge is how your child is at the beginning and end of the day. Yes, some children are reluctant to leave their parent, and that's also normal, but they should be happy there overall.
I wouldn't change your child's morah over the lack of cctv. You should know by now whether you are happy with her and feel you can trust her.

Again. If I know I'm being watched, I am not planning on doing anything I don't want on camera. If the parents wanted this, they would pay the extra. I guess they chose not to.

I run a playgroup in my house and I would not have cameras on all day so parents could see everything my family and I do in our home. When the kids nap, if I get them all to sleep together, I eat my lunch by the computer. I have some side jobs on the computer and I love having time to tackle those during naptime. Then I have ice cream. I don't need everyone watching me eat.

When the kids are awake, things usually go smoothly, but sometimes things get hectic. The last thing I need to worry about is mothers snooping while I'm struggling to keep order while one toddler is climbing on the table, one is hitting someone who is now crying, and one is spilling her friend's snack all over the carpet.

Any classroom allowing parents to watch all day should be shut down. What has this world come to? Mother WHAT are you doing? Send your child to playgroup and leave her alone. You are convincing yourself of something that isn’t real. Watch and interact with your child when she is home. When she goes to Morah it’s not your place.
Sometimes we don’t realise how far we’ve taken technolgy. For the sake of your child please just stop.
