Thank you for your explanation zesmail and I for one appreciate that you have an open mind and are not offended. It's really nice when we can all voice our own opinions without others getting furious with us. I'm afraid on this site we've been attacked a few times too often by VERY judgemental people and we may tend to get our backs up a bit sometimes. I try never to judge others but I am proud of my daycare and the little people I'm helping to form their good habits, nice personalites, healthy and happy emotionally and physically to get a good start in life. I'm proud of the teaching portion of my days as well as the times when I can tell the children it's a day to just play.
And I do agree that there are very bad home daycare providers out there. I've run into a couple of those myself.
