Positive Daycare changes
 

Hello!

After reading the proposed new legislation, I can only see positive changes in store for our daycare centers.  While it is hard enough to leave your child, it must give parents some sense of comfort to know their children are in expert hands, rather than just any babysitter.  I also found it interesting that these revisions were derived from surveys completed by the actual daycare centers.  These regulations must certainly be in need if they came from the facilities themselves. As with any improvement, it comes with a price tag but how can we put a price on the safety and nurturing care of our children?  I would certainly spend the extra money for quality.  

Thank You
