For your child's safety, please insist on qualifications for providers!

Unfortunately what people don't see is the child that is so tired from not being put to bed on time and dragged out to daycare early in the morning they can barely walk a straight line let alone climb or run or swing, or not fed a nutritious enough breakfast to make it through or never taught by their parents that it is ok to not have a parent hold the pail while you scoop sand into it lest it tip over and spill on you. Caregivers rarely complain about a child as the child - so much of what we tolerate is not the child's fault and we don't take it out on the child but there is no way to train a parent that refuses to parent other than to terminate them and send their misguided selves on to become someone else's problem family.
