I am an educated teacher with a degree. You'd be surprised how much teachers actively enjoy spending time with "their kids" but we are often abused by upper management and dismissed as "babysitters" by the parents of the children in the center. The dichotomy for parents is that they want the most educated people paying attention and teaching their children but only want to pay a certain amount for it. I think childcare providers are indepensible, but, unfortunately, only childcare providers think so.
