* a letter from a "supervisor" stating you worked 80 hours (if you work alone you have to beg your CCR&R and wait patiently for them to respond no matter how over worked they already are)
*Letter of Recommendation from a certified reviewer...a stranger at best/competitor at worst... who comes into your home and micromanages your program. (THIS is where it gets very VERY sticky for private home providers/parents who prefer a home like environment) The pressure is harsh.
* Documented proof of membership in an association with a couple "recommended" by your reviewer.
It really gets overwhelming...$$$$
I may have missed a step or two, I have opted out of renewal.

, sorry, I know I am the wost.
ILLEGAL daycare is wrong, wrong, wrong!!! No matter how frustrated you are with the system. The QRIS thing will wash itself out eventually, ride it out. It is not the first government program to upset small business owners, it won't be the last.
Wear your 1-2 STARS proudly like the Sneetches if you have to.... Eventually, it will all work out.
