I posted this on the CBC website:
I am ashamed of you CBC....
How dare you paint private care in such a light!! We are not all unqualified monsters, that sit in fancy homes raking in the bills. (your reporter zeroed in on dollar figures more than once) I in fact suffered a $500.00 loss last year, and made NADA.
In fact I am an ECE who has worked in lic. care, as well as an educational assistant with my public school system. At present I am working towards my ECE degree. I also take pride in the care I provide, have CPR, parent testimonials, (CPIC) a healthy meal plan, safe sleep areas and the allowable number of children in my care.
I also regularly invest in toys and learning materials, replacing broken toys etc. I too, encourage parents to stop in at any time and get their permission to use anything from medication (doctor given only) to trips outside of the dayhome.
For you to say that anyone can open a daycare is a rather glib statement, and though I have all the credentials needed, it is also up to the parent to ask the right questions of the person that they are entrusting with the task of taking care of their children.
I will also post my website for others to see an example of a quality program. It's www.________.com I regularly get compliments on my webpage.
Again, what a shame..I was hoping for a more balanced report..
