My children are grown and I have 5 grandchildren as well with a medical background, but not my ECE. I understand what you are getting at mamaof4 because I am able to use over 30 years of experience and a common sense approach to running my daycare and parents appreciate that very much.

But I know when people come in the door if they have a prejudice about this or that since I don't life in a gorgeous huge house with a gorgeous huge yard. Every family is looking for something different and you can't please all the people all the time so you have to find the families who can see what you offer and look beneath surface judgements, including whether a person has children of their own. What samantha said makes perfect sense.
