    Yes anyone can open up a daycare but to be successful at it is a whole other discussion. Look at the movie Mr. Hollands Opus, he started out just doing it for the paycheck but he realized that in order to get through to his students he needed to give a dam.

    I have been in and out of the "customer service" industry for 25 years and let me tell you if you don't like it you will burn out fast and become substandard. Sorry don't want that caring or teaching my kids!
    The average home child care makes it two years. The average center worker slot is filled four times each year. The turnover rate in child care is extremely high. Each year millions of kids are cared for by people who won't even remember their name a year from now and not work where they work now.

    My point exactly they burn out and run because they hate there job. How on earth can they give 150% if they hate what they do?

    Again with hate. The fact is that center workers often just go to another center because it's the only job they can get. Home daycare providers quit because they don't like it, can't manage the parents, and or they can't make money to compensate the hard work.

    My point is these workers come and go in kids life as a primary caretaker for short stints. Millions of children are cared for by workers in this cycle.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
