you know...I'm kinda wondering if this is a center vs home care reg difference for California.

In home care many things must serve double purpose.

Play Yards get used as a safe place for babies to play outside and inside. High chairs get used as art chairs. A high chair tray is a perfect place for a younger child just starting to use art supplies...they can have their own space to create without painting their neighbor's clothing or body, or painting on someone else's paper etc. In a center, where children are grouped by age these things aren't as much of an issue.
