Before viewing the proposed changes to the licensed child day center regulations, I was eager to see what areas of improvement daycare centers needed. I am pleased with the minimum standards, especially the section regarding sanitation and prevention of diseases.  However, I was not aware that the staff qualifications and training were so minimal.  Hopefully, our children will be left in the hands of educated and experienced individuals who love and care for them they way we do.  Regarding activities, I agree with Denise's comment that storytelling should be mandatory.  I, too, was unaware that toddlers and preschoolers were not read to on a regular basis.  It would be interesting to see how soon these much-needed changes will go into effect.
