Laws differ from state to state.I am beginning to think Kansas may be more stringent than others though.Here the Director has to have at least a 4 year degree and the Asst has to have at least the equivelant of an Associates degree.Also full and part time staff have to have a certain amount of outside child care requirements.Throughout the year the state offers various classes and attendance is required for a certain amount of hours to retain employment.They do check.Also the state requires a background check (KBI) on all incoming employee.My facility is privately owned and I am happy to say that our turnover rate is very very low.We also,like Dee mentioned,pay more than minimum wage and it makes all the difference.
