[quote=Anonymous]We specifically avoided any daycare with a television in the children's area, even those that had policies that I was generally okay with (e.g., Friday movie) because I had no way of knowing if that was actually enforced and heard too many stories of places where it was not.

That's not to say my child will never watch television, but I am not okay with someone I am paying to engage my child using the television (or, for that matter, a computer/phone/etc.) to do that. In the same way, I would not be okay with a school consistently using a television instead of teaching my child.

If a provider is unable to watch the children and engage them in an appropriate way while preparing food or doing other tasks, then an aide is in order, even if it's not legally mandated. I have no issues with my child being asked to help with meal preparations that don't involve fire or sharp knives, though. That seems like a terrific way to occupy him while meals are being prepared.
