More on the toddler who died at daycare

[Sandbox Sally]

cfred, I have to say that I agree with you. I think that every independent home daycare should be held accountable by someone. I would be HAPPY to apply for a license. I would be happy to comply with impromptu inspections. I know I would pass. I already live up to health and safety standards. I think most if not all of us do here on this board.

I am not talking about signing on with an agency here. We could still decide who we accept into our home, our programming, our routines, etc, but be subject to health and welfare inspections for the safety of all the children in our province. This is not so much about those of us who are doing it right, but "catching" those who aren't. These accountabilities should not reflect on our salary, though. We work hard for little money, and we should be able to keep what we earn without an agency shaving a percentage off the top.
