That. ABSURD. I am a director and my staff are always in ratio even if that means I am in ratio. There are good and bad daycares. We have an open door policy and my families are more then welcome to come anytime of the day. We do not watch tv all day nor are my staff allowed to use there phones during the day. My staff work only 8 hour days and make more then minimum wage by alot. Ok now that I have ranted on enough I need to go to bed so I can sit in front of a tv all day and play on my phone (not)
I think you were disagreeing with me. But what you said was exactly my point - neither is horrible or terrific or the other. Each care situation is unique and all have pros and cons. It really bothers me when people really preach against home daycare (or centre daycare, for that matter).

There are good AND bad home daycare AND centre daycare.
