This is really sad.

If you truly care about the children you watch, why would getting licensed be so difficult?

I don't buy or except the excuse that the paperwork takes too long.

KNOWINGLY providing care that is ILLEGAL sheds a bad light on ALL providers.

KNOWINGLY providing care that is ILLEGAL says alot about your own morals and values.

Do ALL of your child care parents know that you are operating ILLEGALLY? Not that you aren't licensed but that you are actually illegal but that should you get shut down, they would immediately lose their child care?

I also wonder about the legal ramifications of this...is your contract still valid? Would it be upheld in a court of law if a parent were to use your illegal operation against you?

Whew.....that is really a huge risk (on many levels) to take IMHO.
