Many things can make your times better or worse. Once I had a new child who had been in my daycare only a couple of weeks. This little boy, who was 4, had never participated in a drill. He had been watched by an Aunt prior to my care, and neither his Aunt nor his parents had ever had any type of drill. Well... when the fire alarm went off, he immediately hid behind the couch. The sound was loud and scared him. It took a little coaxing to get him to come out and our drill time was worse than it had been previously.
Another time during a storm drill, several of my daycare kids were downstairs. This was not always the case, but the school age kids were downstairs because it was summer and it was cooler downstairs. So, when I called out "storm drill" they were right across the hall from the area we headed to during storms. We made record time that month.
