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.

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.

No one will ever take care of your child better than you. Don’t farm them out to strangers.
