Please consider the fallout for the changes of the preschool licensure laws
 

Please reconsider the changes proposed to daycare licensure requirements.  While I understand the overall goal, this proposal overlooks many services that are VITAL to both children and parents alike.  They make certain services that offer part time or drop in care for busy work from home parents unattainable.  I currently work in a coworking facility that provides fantastic childcare that follows all the current regulations, but limits your time to meet with regulations.  Not only myself, but MANY MANY other mom's that work there, simply could not run their businesses without this place.  I've quadrupled the amount of business I do in two years thanks to this affordable and high quality service.  There are so many other options to solve the issues with unlicensed day care center, than to punish the smaller ones that are doing amazing things for families.  Please look at the big picture.  We are BEGGING you.
