The Hell of American Daycare Article

[Hunni Bee]

It ****s that all FCC end up getting painted with the same brush, but I will say that I agree that there are PROBABLY more "bad" than "good" providers out there. I have seen so many programs that should be shut down that it makes me want to vomit.

I have said it before and I will say it again:

There NEEDS to be more rigid, nationwide standards when it comes to regualting child care programs (not just FCC, ALL child care)

There NEEDS to be a minimal education requirement, beside cpr/first aid for Child Care Providers

There NEEDS to be more accountability for providers who have serious violations, not just a slap on the wrist and being allowed to continue operating

I totally agree. And by "standards", I dont mean them telling you what learning centers you should have...I mean serious margins of what must be done and must not be done. Unlicensed should not mean unregulated, but in many states, including mine, it means "keep a couple kids in your home and do whatever". Religiously exempt means the same thing, only for centers.
