5. "Our employees come and go..."
Ann Douglas, author of The Unofficial Guide to Childcare puts the
turnover rate at day care centers at "a mind-boggling 30% per year."
...Unfortunately, your kid may pay the price for such haphazard treatment
long after he has moved out of day care.

6. "...and those who stay get little
training."
Thirty states, including Arizona, New York and Pennsylvania, let
individuals become teachers in licensed day care centers without any
prior training, according to child care licensing regulations compiled
by Wheelock College Institute for Leadership and Career Initiatives.
The training deficit gets worse: In Maryland an
individual can work with children as an aide at 16 years of age with no
training whatsoever.

8. "The only license we have is a driver's
license."
Restaurants need a license. Barber
shops need a license. But don't be surprised if your day care center lacks
any state certification. Many centers, such as some faith-based
programs and health club nurseries, legally operate without licenses.
Yet even if your child's day care provider is
licensed, that doesn't ensure that it offers a high-quality program.
"All [that does] is establish a minimum floor below which a facility
should not go," says Faith Wohl, president of Child Care Action Campaign.
State licensing agencies set minimum standards
designed to reduce the risk of harm to children from injury, unsafe
buildings and the spread of disease. But because states decide on their
own what those standards are, requirements for things such as group size,
staff-to-child ratio and maintenance of environments vary widely.
In New York the child-to-staff ratio for
four-year-olds is 8-to-1; in Texas it's 20-to-1.

It is the day care facility-institutions-that
raises our children now, and the result has been the most horrific social
experiment history has ever seen.

We've Gone the Wrong Way Baby,

...(your children) are killing each other.
They are having babies at younger ages and in record numbers in a desperate
search for that unconditional love they couldn't find in the myriad
of...daycares they had growing up.
