[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I would not be interested in the families who use 10 hrs of daycare a day  since it is higher than what is considered OK amount of time away from the parents. As shown by research, for young children the time away from the parents should be less than 45 hrs a week. 
... "The study, conducted again by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, found that those who spend long hours in child care may experience more stress and are at increased risk of becoming overly aggressive (17 percent) and developing other behavior problems."

Also, babies need more time to bond with their parents!

Btw, $700 was a suggestion only. Lower number may work as well. I however cannot see a functioning small daycare that charges $300 a week - it would hardly pay even one person's wages (presumably, the owner) plus all the daycare expenses (4 kids=less than 5K a month), so I do not believe those numbers exist in the fall of 2022. Unless the owner takes 10 kids and exceeds her allowed capacity.[/quote]

I work part time and have never used more than 27 hours a week of childcare but I am disgusted by your comments.  Check your privilege.  This is classist and gross.  There are plenty of working families out there who have no choice but to use more than 45 hours a week of childcare in order to make ends meet or in order to keep daily life running.  I can't personally speak to the research on the point about total time in childcare, but it is absolutely disgusting to make that kind of a blanket judgment about other families and to state that kind of a preference about what kind of families you're interested in serving.  It's one thing to cater to certain families and situations -- it's quite another to throw out there that people who are doing something different are doing something wrong or bad.

Just EW.  I might be exactly the kind of family you'd be "interested in," but if I got any whiff of this from you, I would RUN.  You don't belong in childcare if you don't respect families.[/quote]
