The way we do it in our center is the best method I've come across. At major transitions, we move the children from one place to another by calling roll.

For example, today we did it coming in from the playground. My co-teacher stood inside calling roll, and I was outside watching each child come out of line and into the classroom. She called a child's name and then continued to the next. I knew I had not seen the child walk out of the line, but she claimed she'd seen him. We searched the classroom to find him not in there.

Long story short, the child had already left and had been dismissed from the playground by another teacher who'd forgotten to initial him out on the roll sheet.

What I'm saying is its easy to lose track of one out of twenty, and any daycare who doesn't have procedures and fail-safes to keep that from happening is unsafe.
