QRIS STRIKES AGAIN...vent

[Blackcat31]

I said it a few years back and I'll say it again......

The goal in my honest opinion IS to push in home family child care providers out of business.

The educational requirements are becoming so important for providers that this is no longer a field sahm's can easily do and since the government wants to lure more pupils (kids) into the public educational system the best way to do it is via early childhood.

They eventually want ALL kids to have early childhood education in a way that can be verified. Play based will not be something that will always be allowed. They want to see results on paper.

QRIS will be the end of in-home family child care as we know it today in the not-so-distant future.

Please tell me that you use paper tp?

(Sorry, I am in a mood this morning.)

lmao of course not.....

yes, we do have that so not 100% paper free.

Laurel, It is at the federal level.

We don't have the funds to fight that.

We have to dance and be pretty PR monkeys... Dance. Dance. Be happy... Our state educational system needs the money for the upper grades. I dance for them.

It is like the rest... wait 5 years. It will swing back across the pendulum.

The classes are AWESOME, though. The professors know how asinine it is and work WITH you to help.

I have been asked to become a trainer as well. I just don't have the time... plus they can't afford me. ::::::

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean there is mandate from the federal government that states must implement QRIS?

Well, I'm glad I'm ready to be done soon, after 30 years ... too bad I can't afford to just retire ::

Then you won't want to hear about the two paper towel, per kid, per hand wash, issue. One for hands, one to turn off water... AFTER they dry their hands and toss the first one. happyface

what the what???????????????????

seriously i want to know who in the world comes up with this stuff.

I am sure it is a person who sits behind a desk and has never walked a day in our shoes or know what its like to run mixed age FAMILY home childcare.

I am soooo over this QRIS.

Actually in many states now it is illegal to wipe dishes dry. They say it is safer to let them air dry. Here in Ohio they regulate that highly in commercial kitchens, it is even covered in food handlers licensing. Even using paper towels here I think would be against the rules.

well we have crappy air, so either way its dirty....lmao

I sadly have to agree....I said this too in the orientation meeting. I was quickly shushed and again said you can talk to us after

I think ALL states are working on some sort of QRIS and eventually it will be mandated for ALL states. My state is already QRIS mandated and renewed annually. Providers here get NO choice...You do it or give up your license!

I totally agree. I've mentioned before that my dd worked in the preschool dept of a large school district. At one meeting, forgot what it was for, a head honcho for the YMCA stated that they needed to put the home daycares out of business because they were taking away too many dollars from legitimate programs.

This is an older pdf, but it is short, so it is my favorite overview.

[Laurel]

Thanks, I'll check it out later. Don't have time now.

See in my case even if I was licensed I can only take 4 because my home is infants/toddlers under 24 month. I'll be damned if I jump the hoops for QRIS because the babies are enough work ( I was looking at moving houses to get licensed, but changed my mind last month). Nope, I already go thru all the required for Camelot so I can take foster babies as Drop-ins... I'm good. Don't have to be licensed here to get on food program either so that's another plus

Is the hand washing your decision or is it mandated by your city? I'm only asking because many sources show that hand washing dishes uses the same amount or even more water than a dishwasher does. So if you are trying to be an ecologically minded person happyface, you can still in good conscience use your dishwasher, especially if it is a high efficiency model.

I would have to run the washer 6+ times a day and it would be more water than the way that I am doing it now. No one has been sick in months, so obviously I am able to kill germs the way that I am doing it. The washer here is an older model and I can't change it as I don't own the home.
