I didn't mean it to be an insult, but after years of having my own kids in day care, the majority of the workers I encountered made minimum wage and had no education. There would usually be one director who was educated in child care. I think this is a problem with our day care system that needs to be improved. In several places that I visited in choosing one, the staff used poor grammar, had poor hygiene, were screaming at children, etc. Many home day cares aren't licensed. That's why parents shop around. The one my kids ended up in was full of warm, educated staff. At least one staff in each room had a degree in early childhood education and the other staff were great too. But, that's why you shop around. I had to shop around to many facilities though.
I think it's sad that it is so difficult to find a good day care .. this should be a higher priority in our society and if they paid more, they would get higher quality workers. There ARE some good ones out there too. I didn't mean to offend.
