I have read through these proposed regulations and I do not understand how they are going to increase the safety or care of my child.  Several of these proposed regulations including but not limited to: CPR First Aid Requirement, Serious Injury Notification, Group Size, Director Qualifications and Teacher Age Restrictions, would create unnecessary burdens on daycare providers without providing additional security or safety, in my opinion.  I took a lot of time and effort to find a daycare that: a) provided a class size I was comfortable with that allows my son to flourish; b) took efforts to hire the appropriate personnel (in both age and qualifications), was in a location that worked for my family c) provided timely feedback on all matters to me the parent and; d) provided care and education at an affordable tuition rate.  If a family is uncomfortable with how the center operates (size of classrooms, age of caregivers, etc.), there are other facilities that could meet their needs.  Requiring all centers to conform to these group sizes and teacher restrictions is mind boggling.  These proposed regulations would require significant changes in how many centers currently operate (including the one my son currently attends) while limiting the options out there for families.  In addition, it would significantly increase the tuition costs when daycare costs are already extremely expensive.  Thank you for listening to our concerns and I sincerely hope that you reconsider these proposed regulations.
