Reporting a Home Daycare

[playfelt]

An issue that is over and above the safety issue and that is a debatable one based on how much help is in the home, etc. Let's face it some providers can't handle two kids properly while others manage 10 just fine. Those homes that are over are generally the ones able to charge a lower rate too so of course many parents are willing to overlook the issue if they even realize it is an issue. But then the rest of us trying to play by the rules and control our ratios are sitting with open spaces while the house down the street has double capacity - I need those kids at my house. Why should she be allowed to get away with it.

I agree with you on this one playfelt!! I had 9 months of waiting before I got full ...and even still I'm waiting a few months before my next ones start. Probably due in some part of a few in my area that are full beyond their max numbers.
