Without referring to any one thread specifically, I am getting a horrible feeling that many providers do not take their role as seriously as they should. This SERIOUSLY frightens and concerns me and I really wonder what, if anything can and should be done about it.
So, please share with me, what do you think is the level of supervision necessary for anyone caring for other people's children?
I am not going to vote, but just wanted to point out that the poll question and the question YOU are asking are different. My state allows sight OR sound for under school age, and free play/roam for school agers.
*I* have different standards.
Out of curiousity, what threads are you referring to in this post, if you don't mind sharing?
