DISPLEASED WITH PROPOSAL
 

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.  Well I know who-"THE PARENTS".

If the proposed regulations are approved, the daycare providers will be forced to increase tuition rates and reduce the number of children in each room.  The daycare providers will be placed in a terrible position because they will forced to send some children away.  I think this will be a tough decision for all those involved(daycare provider, parents and especially the children).

My daycare has advised, if this change takes effect, they will have to lower the number of children in each room, BUT be forced to make a large increase to the tuition rates. 

PARENTS: STAND UP OR BE PREPARED TO SUFFER THE FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES OR OTHER EMOTIONAL EFFECTS OF PULLING YOUR CHILDREN FROM A PLACE THEY LOVE!

GOVERNOR: PLEASE LISTEN TO THE PARENTS THAT HAVE TO WRITE THE CHECKS EACH WEEK!!
