re: Vance's solution to the rising cost of child care...

The second part of his answer was to have less certified people looking after our kids?

WTF is it with you people and certifications?

a child daycare center is described as a facility that offers care to seven or more children regularly, for at least 12.5 hours per week.

To be a daycare director, you must be a minimum of 21 years old and possess documentation demonstrating at least one of the following:
A bachelor’s degree obtained from a college or university accredited regionally, including at least six credit hours in child development or early childhood education, along with one year of supervised childcare experience in a licensed center or a similar environment.
Possession of a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, which encompasses practicum experience and one year of work experience in a licensed center.
An associate’s degree in child development or a closely related field, coupled with one year of supervised childcare experience in a licensed center or a comparable setting.
A minimum of one year of experience as either a director or staff member in a licensed childcare center, supplemented by 12 credit hours in child care, child development, or early childhood education. Alternatively, each three credit hours can be substituted with fifteen “clock hours” of relevant coursework.
Completion of a vocational childcare training program approved by the Board of Regents or an equivalent qualification, in addition to one year of supervised childcare experience in a licensed childcare center or a similar environment.
Attainment of the National Administrator Credential conferred by the National Child Care Association, along with one year of experience in a licensed childcare center or a comparable setting.
Receipt of a certificate of completion from either the International Correspondence School or the Professional Career Development Institute, accompanied by one year of experience in a licensed childcare center or a comparable setting.

Do you believe that these are over the top to ask from someone who will be supervising a daycare center of at least 7 children? I checked on just one of those credentials and it is $650. Is that too much? If so, I say lets subsidize the class to give more people a shot at opening child care centers. It does not take a 6 year degree and a whole bunch of other stuff to open a child care center. It takes minimum education and experience. I do believe some type of training is good due to safety, developmental, and behavioral concerns. We can tackle this problem more than one way at a time, but acting like we can just ask our parents is just out of touch.

So proud of you.

Maybe Grandpa and Grandma want to help a little bit more. Maybe there’s an uncle/aunt who wants to help a little bit more

At this time what more can he do?

Every generation has had help from the previous generation when it comes to watching and raising children. Personally I think children spending more time with family and less with strangers is a great thing.

So care for a toddler and work from home simultaneously?

Vance wants to give me $5k. Kamala wants to give me $6k. Neither of them want to address the underlying problem driving up costs, which is INSURANCE.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Grandma actually raises the kids in many families..quit demanding others take care of your responsibilities

It's laughable just how out of touch this guy is with reality

Do you think Kamala Harris is in touch with reality? I mean, she's out there faking accents at campaign events.

Tampon Tim did that.

My wife watches all of our grandchildren.

Is that wrong?
