WND EXCLUSIVE
Daycare operators told: Get college degree or new job
'You don't need to know how to integrate a function to take care of a newborn'

Bob Unruh joined WND in 2006 after nearly three decades with the Associated Press, as well as several Upper Midwest newspapers, where he covered everything from legislative battles and sports to tornadoes and homicidal survivalists. He is also a photographer whose scenic work has been used commercially.



The District of Columbia has begun putting much-needed day cares out of business because their operators are not college graduates.

The new requirement, just approved and retroactively affecting day-care providers who have successful provided working parents help for decades, comes from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education.

The dispute is being taken to court now by the Institute for Justice.

“Taking care of a child takes a lot of things – patience, creativity, and kindness rank high among many other attributes – but the one thing it doesn’t take is a college degree. But don’t tell that to Washington, D.C., regulators in the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), which recently enacted a regulation requiring the city’s day care providers to either obtain a college degree, or look for another job,” the legal team said.

Their case is on behalf of Ilumi Sanchez, a day-care provider who has taken care of dozens of children since 1995.

The new rule is devastating for her, because “between the time she spends watching nine kids during the day and taking care of her family in the evening, earning an unnecessary college diploma is a non-starter.”

“That is only compounded by her limited English skills and the five-figure cost of tuition. Once the regulation takes effect, Ilumi’s only choice will be to either shut down or move elsewhere and leave behind the families that have grown to see her as a part of their family,” the institute said.

The lawsuit argues that the rule goes beyond the constitutional authority of the government.

“You don’t need to know how to integrate a function or write in iambic pentameter in order to take care of a newborn or toddler,” explained Renée Flaherty, an IJ lawyer.

“Day-care providers already go through a battery of training covering real-world needs like first aid and early development enrichment. Requiring them to spend two to four years studying subjects like English literature, math, or public speaking will only serve to drive them out of business, drive up day care costs, and make finding a daycare in the district even more impossible than it already is.”
Setup Timeout Error: Setup took longer than 30 seconds to complete.

The evidence isn’t on the side of regulators, IJ said.

“In 2015, the National Academies of Science released a comprehensive report on early childhood education, which found that there is no conclusive evidence demonstrating that a college degree would have beneficial effects on early childhood development,” the group said.

“The OSSE’s arbitrary rule, which was passed without input or oversight by the city council, comes at a time when D.C.’s childcare marketplace is already strained beyond the breaking point. district parents pay more for childcare than in any other state – an average of $23,089 per year for an infant. Waitlists for a spot at a day care center can run over a year. It is not uncommon for parents who get on a waitlist as soon as they are pregnant to find themselves without a spot once their child is born nine months later. In 2015, licensed day care providers had roughly 7,610 slots for the 22,000 children under age three in D.C.

“Taking care of kids takes more specialized and personal traits – experience like caring and patience, not reading and writing,” said Sanchez, in a statement released by IJ. “They don’t teach those skills in college. You learn those by doing them – and I’ve been doing them for nearly 25 years.”

“As people across the political spectrum recognize the enormous burdens created by unnecessary occupational licenses, D.C. officials have chosen to make the problem worse by demanding an empty credential in order to care for a two-year-old,” said Robert McNamara, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice. “D.C.’s regulation is only the latest example of how arbitrary and unjustified occupational regulations serve to lock people out of making a living doing jobs they know and love. Ilumi and hundreds of other day care providers have a constitutional right to earn an honest living.”

The case, in U.S. District Court in Washington, seeks a ruling that the new requirement is unconstitutional, violating the D.C. Home Rule Act.

My God, now the liberal elites, the punks that have raised this snowflake generation don't believe that millions of mothers raised their children properly unless they were college graduates. They will destroy this country any way they can.

What is their salary after securing such degree?? Who will be able to afford it after as well?? What person is going to be satisfied being a care giver after spending thousands in schooling??

I can see daycare providers needing to have CPR and others such safety measures in place in the event of an emergency but a college degree is an unrealistic requirement..

If they are teaching pre-K classes those people are typically licensed to do so by the state so I’m not sure what this proposed bill is intended to do.. I’d like to read it thats for sure..

The negative consequences seem to outweigh the benefits..Most of the classes daycare workers will be forced to take are irrelevant to caring for children anyway.. caring for children is live, patience, safety and common sense..

This appears an over reach and unconstitutional.. Having an associates degree is going to change what in caring for a child.??

Morning LJ. How are you? Hope well. Yes I actually think it's worse than that. They want indoctrinated collegians watching toddlers. You know the ones who have decided spanking your kid is a hanging offense. They believe, somehow the more educated one is the better the parent.

Apparently there is no requirement as to what their major would be. Knowing who is behind this control of peoples lives I would guess that a majr in LGBTQ studies , black lives studies or any major that is against white people particularly men would be considered a great background for raising other peoples young children.

Oh contraier, that would be corporate capitalism. If this were to happen, expect daycare to go up exponentially, to where only the very well paid can afford it, what next to single women who can barely afford childcare out of their wages as it is. Guess they will have to stay home and care for their children and be a ward of the state, or do they simply starve in the street?

Maybe they just haven't thought this out.

Good Morning to you!!! Did you go on the tournament and if so how was it?? Was thinking about you yesterday and wanted to ask..

I bet the idiots involved in this “brain storming” idea don’t even have degrees!!!

Given what the school board has removed from teaching its a wonder any teacher now has to have college !!! Everyone knows the idiots on DC have no brains but do they have to so blatant about it?? Good grief, Jim!!!

They are just trying to get them younger to start the socialism classes !!

Not blind at all, why can't you talk about any issue without bringing up party lines, simply shows you're true intention which is to malign a party, attaching the word socialists to it, keep pressing that lie down peoples throats, say a lie often enough and the weak minded will believe it.
