After reading many of your comments I have to wonder how many of you will be affected by these changes? If you can no longer afford to send your child to a center , you have two options leave your job or find and in-home provider which may or may not be good for your child. This change will directly effect those that are already struggling to pay for quality childcare . My daughter is well taken care of by a wonderful staff (very low turn over) who not only care for her but about her. The amount of time and effort that they take with each and every child makes them a great benefit to my daughters education and well being.

All centers are not created equal -so how can you group them all together by space. While my childs well-being is the most important aspect, costs plays a roll like it or not. For those of us lucky enough to have our children in wonderful, caring and educational enviroments already -why penalize by making childcare so unafforable to "working parents"?
