Yeah, no.
The one thing my oldest daughter told me (as a parent to 4 kids herself), that she would never put her children in a home daycare that was filled with stuffed animals ... "the germs are Nasty Mom, so glad you don't offer stuffed toys in your childcare" . Got to love it, but it's the same reason I don't allow diaper bags, blankets or even spare clothes to go back & forth... I wash up clothes here after changing into spares; I have parents switch out each season, so I am never shorted
