Washington State - Everett Child Daycare license suspended over violence, neglect

To the parents in Washington State the latest revision of the child day care regulations go into effect on March 31, 2012.  Kudos to the Department of Early Learning (DEL) for taking action sooner rather than later; and before a child got maimed or killed.

I gave DEL kudos for writing researched based, evidence based regulations. The next step in my experience as a former child day care licensor was for managers to fairly enforce the regulations to keep children safe, healthy and happy.

I don't have copies of the records as yet and it appears the agency is moving forward with obeying the laws our citizen legislature passed.

Then the agency upping the front end, at this time, will go a long ways to producing a higher quality licensing process when folks apply to get a license; and a high quality outcome with untraumatized children and children who are still whole and alive. 

For child day care providers I recommend upping your own quality by accessing a mentor and classes through SCORE (Service Core of Retired Executives); and that organization will assist you in your small business characteristics that will lead to high quality and success.
