[quote=Anonymous]I really don't understand this bill. I am a teacher and have always thought daycare workers should earn the most, and it should go down from there (sorry college professors :D) - but the mechanism for ensuring that those who care for the littlest should be well recompensed and work in cheerful, safe facilities isn't easy. If the Council wants to tackle this, they should come up with a comprehensive plan that involves the college degrees (and a pathway to support daycare staff in getting there), facilities standards, suggested curriculum with waivers if centers have their own quality programs, subsidies, etc. But the way they have gone after daycare just seems really half baked with a LOT of unintended consequences. I don't see anything improving unless they actually address this throughtfully. Have they even LOOKED at how its done in cities with successful daycares? Have they considered private public partnerships? Or anything else? This is just their usual treatment of tax payer money as monopoly play money. I really, really dislike how they approach city quality of life problems.[/quote]
