Eyewitness News: Illegal day care centres encouraged to register before deadline
When the Colby Thompson Act regarding unlicensed care is enacted, the Department of Early Learning (DEL)in Washington State may want to follow South Africa's first steps in getting unlicensed folks to come in to apply for a license.
A thank you to the Washington State legislature, in particular, Senator Eide and Colby's mom and dad, Jamie and Chris for working on this bill.
With the non-expiring license law, also, coming into effect licensors will have more time to get the monitoring and oversight done on facilities with long histories of non-compliance as well as make visits on reports of unlicensed care.
The licensed provider community from my days as a licensor, it was clear licensed day care providers are pretty much in tune in their neighborhoods and know who is doing unlicensed care.
Those licensed day care providers involved with the Washington Child Care Association and the SEIU can make those reports now to DEL for action that has been a long time in coming.
I would be glad to do some pro bono consulting to help DEL out...A Change Gonna Come (a tip of my hat to Sam Cooke).
