You're running a large scale operation and you're in it for the money and that's great for you. I'm in it for a living and also to start children off on the right path in life.
I'm a babysitter and have eight children with a full time staff assistant. I don't have a large scale operation but I definitely am in it for the money. I got to feed the blue eyed son and support myself.

I'm NOT a teacher but I do give high quality and amazing care. My kids do extremely well in school and I have long term clients. I'm in my twentieth year of doing home child. That's a LONG time of being successful doing the wrong thing.

I do not believe it is my place to teach children about tattling. I'll leave that to their parents. Here, I want children to enjoy each other and play toys. I don't want them to spend any of their time here learning about when to tattle and how they feel about tattling. They have their entire school life to sort that out. From birth to five they can just follow my lead and focus on entertaining themself and playing with the other kids. When they get off to school their licensed educated teacher can take that on. She/he will be educated to steer them in the right direction. I don't have an education or interest in this part of their early childhood "education". I'll leave that to the professionals like you.
