Concerning you did not list educator in her tasks, and instead focused on the least important aspects of “childcare”.

Children shouldn’t be a business model, but proper ECE is vital at that age where they learn more than any other time in their life.

I work for a non-profit, and assuming your $50 is American we would charge about $75 and with that comes along with a team of professionals who have studied how to do all this and can support each other and the children’s development while minimising risks.

    Sure, I’m not saying that it meets every need prescribed to kids in our modern enlightened era. $25 extra a day (or rather, $500 extra a month) doesn’t sound like much for the professionalism, the standardized and trusted procedures, and the army of workers available to meet your kids needs.

    Most daycare centers in my area don’t have a curriculum, they’re for profit, and the online reviews are utter trash. My sister worked for one and has plenty of stories about staff members cursing around children, being rude to them, … the whole “I just work here” treatment.

    My sister isn’t a licensed educator, so I won’t be saying she educates the kids. She does play with them, though. They are learning more than they otherwise would; probably would be cooped up in a grandparents house with their tablet or something. Who knows? But she wouldn’t have customers if there wasn’t a problem.
