Marketplace story on unlicensed daycares

[sunnydays]

I have been provided with the information (by teh CCPRN here in Ottawa) that Marketplace on CBC is airing a piece on unlicensed daycares on Friday at 8pm on CBC. From the brief description, it will be heavily leaning toward the dangers and horrors to be found in unlicensed home daycares. You can post your comments at the following link to give our side of the story and provide some perspective:

CCPRN has also asked us to ask our daycare parents to post comments about their satisfaction with their unlicensed home daycares. Let's have our voices heard! Who knows, maybe they will air a follow-up with this side of the story. We all know there are some bad daycares out there...but let's not let them scare the public into thinking that we are all like that!

Sunnydays this was posted yesterday in another thread. Just FYI maybe we can link the 2 discussions.

That's a good idea, I will send my daycare parents a link to comment on it if they watch it on Friday!

DaycareLulu, that's a fantastic idea. I'm sending the link to my dcfamilies too and asking them to comment. I know they are all thrilled to be at my daycare and will have great things to say about quality home daycare.

Exactly! I already sent it to my daycare families and have received positive feedback

hmm thats interestting five pages of comments 90% of which are already saying "shame on you" cbc for being so bias....hmm, I wonder how many comments are going to be there once the story airs?

[sunnydays]

Guess daycare providers are doing a great job of spreading the word and banding together to fight injustice I am waiting until I watch the show before commenting, but look forward to adding my two cents worth
