So I'm currently registered but for the past couple of weeks have been getting everything in order to become licensed. Currently I can only watch 6 under 5 (2 of those are my own)...if licensed it would increase to 8.
I have jumped through hoop after hoop to get all my paperwork exactly how they want it (had to change my floorplan, faxing things 3 or 4 times because they didn't go through properly, etc.).
So to be approved as a licensed facility you have to have 12 hours of child development courses and then 1 year experience in childcare. So I have my masters degree in recreation and my bachelors is in sport management with a minor in psychology.
When I turned in my transcripts with classes such as 'Crafts for Recreation Programs', 'Children and Nutrition', and "Youth and Sport' my licensing rep said they were "fishy" and she wanted course descriptions to show her how they relate to child development :confused:.
I just think fitness, the reduction of TV watching/video games, nutrition education and keeping dcks active are just as important topics as any other "early development" topic/course. Ahhhh!
It's just very frustrating going back and forth with her about my courses so I just needed to vent a little.
