Who's Minding Day Care? by
Ruth Schubert and Heath Foster, The Seattle
Post-Intelligencer,
24-Jun-02 |
A record of violence or child abuse and neglect
bars a person from working at a licensed center. So does a list of other
felonies, including drug and sex offenses, if the convictions aren't more
than five years old.
...day cares can start new employees before the (background) check comes
back. Only those who need FBI checks must be supervised before being
cleared.
That means licensors don't know if a child predator
is going from day care to day care in search of a job -- and vulnerable
victims.
...Delays in processing background checks have allowed people who should
have been rejected to slip in the door at...day cares.

Day care a huge expense for parents
by Ruth Schubert The Seattle
Post-Intelligencer,
24-Jun-02 |
...A national study in 1995 found that (nearly
half of daycare centers offer) "poor" care.
The economics of the industry is largely to blame. For-profit day cares
typically earn a pre-tax profit of 4 percent to 5 percent, according to
Market Data Enterprises, a Florida research firm.
Roughly two-thirds of a for-profit center's costs are labor, and providers
can't save money by cutting staff because of required minimum teacher-child
ratios.

DSS (Dept. of Social
Services) chose daycare for infant, over a foster family,
by Andrew Schultz, The Tribune Papers - Asheville Tribune
18-Jul-02 |
Developmental Child Psychologist Penelope Leach,
widely considered the world’s leading authority on child development, says
she understands that many mothers aren’t able to look after their babies.
However, “I do not believe that it is helpful to conceal from them the fact
that group care is a bad alternative. They are entitled to the facts as we
understand them.” Leach says she’s also sympathetic with women who choose to
work, yet states, “they too are entitled to a true picture of the conflict
between what they want and what their children need.”
