I object to requiring centers to establish and maintain written policy to ensure consistent care in every class. It is always a goal that we strive to maintain consistent staff in a classroom but staffing is difficult and to establish a written plan that wouldn’t be able to be followed would be irresponsible. I believe that as long as the center is continuously providing safe and consistent care to the children that we should not have to comply with a written plan.
