I struggled to find a provider open to cloth prior to starting my own dayhome. I personally am open to cloth as it's what I used for my own child. As for EC (elimination communication) I think it's a load of hooey! Nobody but the parent is being trained and it's completly unrealistic for a group care setting. It's just one of those things that if a parent wishes to make that choice for thier child they need to also make the choice to stay at home with the child. It's just not possible for any provider to do those types of things.
