[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP don't dwell on this. Your friend is not professional. This in home daycare would have never worked out anyway. How could you leave your child with someone who doesn't drive? What are you thinking? [/quote] why on earth is it a requirement for the childcare provider to drive? Do you really expect a stay at home mom daycare provider to have a van with 6 properly installed car seats into? Who would watch the kids while she’s putting the kids in one by one? Where on earth do they need to go? If there’s an emergency she’ll call 911 and let them do any necessary driving while the parents leave work and meet them at the hospital and she stays home with the remaining kids. Not being able to driving is the dumbest reason to pass on a child care provider. [/quote] +1. There is no reason for my child ever to be in a daycare provider's car or any other adult's car. In order to maintain ratios, the providers must stay with the other kids and 911 will move the sick/hurt child. If there's some emergency requiring evacuation a state-licensed daycare will have a written emergency and evacuation plan and a clear plan for getting all walking and non-walking kids out of the building with a spot in close walking distance where they can shelter in place and where parents would come get their kids. For an in-home this means they either have a key to another house nearby or they have permission from a local business that is open during the same hours to go there. [/quote]
