I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that toddlers get to walk alone anywhere. And from context, this is the USA, so my assumption is that the parents drive the kids to daycare where the teachers likely take the children on walks, and during those excursions they regularly meet an elderly crossing guard with an accent.

Then the day care workers would have been hearing the crossing guard say “oh dear”.
