Sorry that so many are so against the states part in daycare.
Apparently not in every state. I pay $30 every two years. That's on top of $35 for first aid/cpr, $10 for food handlers card, $7 or $8 each for my husband and I to be registered with the Criminal Background registry, and at least $40 worth of continuing education. That's over $120.
