You Can't Cure Stupid - Quality Child Care For Parents

You Can't Cure Stupid - Quality Child Care For Parents

This leads me to another point. Having children, should not be an automatic qualifier to work in child care. Look at all the millions of people that have children that know nothing about how to care for children. You don’t need an education to become a parent, nor do you even need the desire to be a parent to become one. So how does that automatically make you a qualified professional? Look at how many parents are considered bad parents and have their children taken away from them. Look at how many parents have children that are out of control. Even those parents that appear to be “good parents” with well-behaved children may not know enough about child care or child development to work in child care. Let’s face it, many parents get lucky and despite their lack of knowledge, their children grow up “normal”. And just because a parent successfully raises one or more children, doesn’t mean that he or she is automatically prepared to handle a classroom of 18 4-year-olds and plan daily activities that contribute toward their successful academic, social, and emotional future. What indicators in our society say that this is true?

Parents, are you looking for quality daycare or childcare? Are you looking for someone who’s more than a babysitter? Wondering what your states standards and regulations are? Want your children to get a good early childhood education from a teacher who cares and is qualified? Have you checked out your local Child Care Resource and Referral Agency (CCR&R) for quality childcare?

I hope by watching my videos as well I can offer some help and guidance for your childcare needs.

I’ve also written a book because of my experiences in teaching and, most importantly, my experiences teaching in child care. I’ve always been one to demand excellence in everything I do and from everyone I encounter. The fact that child care is less than excellent keeps me searching for a way to improve the standards that aren’t meeting my, and hopefully your expectations.

I always thought that if I’m a good teacher and a good role model, then others will follow suit and step up to the challenge of creating quality child care, and that it would be enough. I’ve always hoped that there are more people out there that have the same standards I do and are creating the same quality than not, but the more I teach, the more I find this isn’t the case.
