I agree with Nan, but I also think that parents seem to think that centers somehow follow rules better, or that there are "eyes" on all the employees preventing abuse and such. In my knowledge, that prevents nothing because they max out each staff member. I also think that parents think if they are paying more, they get more for their money. I don't agree with that either. I think smaller numbers are always better. Parents don't realize it, but home providers really come to know and love the children, however turnover at centers is so high I can't see how that happens.
