This is not meant as an attack but just to share information ~ when I worked in centre care I was the Health and Safety person for ... I had to research and keep all the Material Safety Data sheets up to date and on file for any product staff were exposed to!
Have you ever read the Material Data Safety sheet for these I stopped using them after reading them as well as more research into severe chemical burns children who've gotten access to them or who've played on surfaces cleaned using them had
The MDS sheet says skin reactions are 'moderate' but the images online if you google are NASTY!!!! Not to mention that these things contain formaldehyde a chemical linked to causing cancer and cyanide too boot

sensitization.
Inhalation: Ensure adequate ventilation.

IMO scary what is actually IN these things ~ personally would never use one knowing what I know now specially anywhere a child plays or explores considering the safety precautions those 'making them' have to wear in order to handle the products that go into these that you than see being used barehanded and on surfaces where you eat and bath when they promote them in their commercials .... seriously if it is safe for YOU to use in this manner than why are employees being made to wear ventilators and industrial gloves when handling them
Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
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.
