Education requirements for staff
 

The education requirements for "Director" positions should have a clause for staff who have years of experience in childcare without needing higher education credits.  Due to the expenses of higher education along with the low pay for childcare staff it is hard to find good educated staff with experience.  If a person has multiple years of hands on work experience there should be a conversion chart example:  2 years experience can equal 1 year of education.
