On Monday, 2/22 Arlnow.com reported that Arlington County has proposed an extensive list of new regulations for child care providers:
Daycare and preschool providers in Arlington are decrying proposed new child care regulations as overly onerous and intrusive.
A 34-page draft of new child care center regulations would set stringent requirements for employee education, require food handling certificates for handing out snacks and would require providers to encourage mothers to breast feed, among numerous other regulatory provisions.
Child care providers particularly small, part-time operators are speaking out against the the changes to Chapter 52 of County Code via the countys online open comment tool."
Many comments focused on new education requirements for the teachers and assistant directors at child care centers. They would have to have a Bachelors Degree in education or a similar major and at least 9 semester credits of advanced study in child development or early childhood education. Current teachers would have three years to meet that requirement.To list a few of the more egregious proposals:
The licensee will ensure that mothers are encouraged to breast feed their infants.
Celebrations (birthdays, special occasions) should include mostly healthy foods or non-food treats.
Staff will promote dental hygiene among children at mealtimes.
The licensee will ensure that a trained staff member shall conduct and document a health check of each child every morning upon arrival.

Anything but that!
The Nazis were at the cutting edge of kinder care policies. Arlington County is just following their book, like they do with their other policies.

The county backed off this bs earlier this week.
No one will ever take care of your child better than you. Don’t farm them out to strangers.
Thanks!
