[nobe-l] Childcare in-home and in daycare centres

[Heather Field]

Hello Kayla,
My friend, Brandy, runs her own lisenced, in-home daycare. She has also 
worked in daycare settings.
I've included her e-mail below. I suggest that you contact her and ask 
questions. I'm sure she would be very happy to chat to you on the phone as 
well.
Warmly,
Heather Field

Hi:
Try and find the daycare licensing manual for the state you live in.
It will tel you the requirements for a home daycare.  Similarly, in
most manuals, it says that you have to be able to "see children at all
times" I personally think they didn't think of blind people when they
wrote the manual and that is just poor word, but most manuals say that
somewhere that seeing is a requirement.  I have ran into this problem
myself, so if anyone has any thoughts on that , let me know.  I do
work at a Head start center, but I am the third teacher in the room,
which means there are two sighted teachers.  They wanted to make me a
lead teacher, with me and another assistant, but with the wording
about seeing, well, I think they were scared to, at least until they
seen how I can work.    If you run your own darcare you will usually
get paid more than if you work in a center, it just depends on
Illonois rate of pay.  if you have any questions about working in a
classroom let me know.  I have been in one for two years, and I
interned in one for two years before that.
Sincerely,
Ashley
