For no good reason.
the law says if you felt the need to do…
Luckily the law is different where I live. I’d rather have my child taken care of by a human, rather than a flowchart

Oh, I assumed you thought people were spending a lot of time entering timestamps. Do you think this is a particularly onerous process for them, or that the parents need to like, acknowledge each log? They just push a button to select the kid and tap another to select the event. Maybe type a description if it’s an incident report. It’s significantly easier for them than logging it any other way, and it ensures parents get the information on food, diapers and whatnot.
I am confused how you see this as care by flowchart. Daycare staff aren’t medical professionals. They aren’t qualified to make objective decisions about what’s an “important” event to notify parents of in a consistent manner. What country are you in where the parental notification laws are “I dunno, if you feel like it I guess”?

Belgium. There’s no laws whatsoever that mandate notifications. They’ll just tell you if something important happens

Well that seems quite odd. Most developed countries have standards for childcare settings, including defining minimums for activity and incident logging.
Finding regulations was difficult, but it seems that Belgium just has lower quality childcare than even the US, according to the UN. unicef.org/…/where-do-rich-countries-stand-childc…
Color me surprised. I kind of assumed if we had standards that anyone else would have similar or better standards.

The only thing such laws do is make the care taker more of a replaceable robot, imo. In either case, you want someone that cares, and doesn’t see a kid as a long to do list within an app.
No amount of laws can force someone to care. The reverse is often true, in my opinion.
