Quality at what cost?
 
The proposed regulations addresses some changes regarding larger class sizes and smaller ratios, but it does not address who will pay for these "quality" changes.    Me!  My children are in a wonderful licensed preschool and afterschool program that our family has grown to love.  However, if these regulations pass our family will not be able to afford the price tag.  I am all for strengthening health and safety regulations, but if my children will not be around to benefit what is the point?  Our old sitter says that she can still care for the kids, but I'd rather keep them where they are - happy.
