Provider's Spouse

[Country Kids]

I think many people forget that this is a business. How many people would walk into their spouses place of employment with a beer in hand. Would a beer be allowed at a childcare center if two spouses ran it-NO! I think people have such a hard time defining us as a business and taking us seriously because in most cases we want to have our cake and eat it to. In other words we want to be in business and be professional but also be able to say well this is my home and such.

In Indiana there can not be any alcohol present or being drank while there are children present. The daycare I worked at before was used on the weekends as a family hangout, it was a building attached to their house. Well we had a drop-in licensing appt one time and she went to get a drink out of the refrigerator and there was one single unopened beer in the fridge. She said it was an absolute no-no. She didn't shut us down because she knew it was a good daycare, just a forgetful moment to remove it but she said if it happened again it could be a license revocation.

That's hugely inappropriate.

Yes, it is his house, but his wife is running a daycare and there are still children present. To me, it's one of those things that you just accept when you run a daycare out of your home.

What you choose to do in front of your own children is one thing. What is appropriate to do in front of other's children is another.

As a parent I would be furious. As a daycare provider I would never allow it.
