hiring
 

Daycare centers are faced with the difficulty of hiring people that need to clear backgrounds, get CPR certified, take trainings and then are unable to pay them a living wage. We are written up for being out of ratio, when people quit working to go and make more money doing fast food. We need something in place that allows centers, that would otherwise be in ratio to have 60 days to replace the employee that quit. We need regulations that motivate and encourage things to keep children safe. These regulations should be a push to have well run centers.
