Having worked in Early Childhood Education for the past 20 years, 15 of those years were spent managing the operations of ECE communities. I have found that all states have the same lump sum of problems that seemingly have not been repaired through the years. Supervision(of the children), discipline(negative, use of force, emotional abuse), poor training(hiring teachers without proper credentialing to avoid paying top rates of pay), and taking advantage of an already broken subsidy program offered to families deemed to be in poverty.
I have been outspoken about religious child care programs that have evaded state licensing by applying for religious licensure, which may grant the use of negative behavioral discipline practices based upon today's child care standards. Often, parents choose religious programs because many of these environments rule, with the iron fist which parents often think the children will obtain manners and other religious practices. Some of these programs thrive on being able to force children to do things, through fear tactics. If a program has failed one child in a program by using physical or emotional tactics, it has failed all children in their care.
