Exactly what I meant... It wouldn't have even occurred to me to self-report. Life happens in child care. I wouldn't have classified it as anything more than "I am a responsible adult that handled/managed it just fine."
At some point we have to be able to trust ourselves and our ability to make day to day and common sense decisions. If licensing doesn't agree then they'll have to put it in writing .....and continue pushing good quality providers out of business due to being overly governed.
