It is coming in on the heels of QRIS so I'm sure there will be new expectations for in-home childcare's in our state.
I can see that "fight" being bigger than unionization of in home family child care providers.
Imagine the uproar being forced to have cameras in your home would ignite?
The breach of privacy for family etc... Yikes... Of course, if it's tied to QRIS the state would require access so they can "check up" on providers....because yeah...that's a guarantee that the children will be safe.
Ugh! I surely hope this is just in "discussion" phase for you. That "might" be a deal breaker for many.
