More or less, the highest cost, most intensive programs....barely beat welfare families, and did not even come close to matching the average.<br /><br />The DC plan sounds good....only until you start looking at the data. Then it sounds like throwing money down the toilet, something that DC is all too well known for doing.<br /><br />http://bikebubba.blogspot.com/2013/02/on-benefits-of-preschool.html<br /><br />Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803826.post-36478108373905961142017-04-19T12:38:44.420-07:002017-04-19T12:38:44.420-07:00It is not as outrageous as it seems.

Assistant teachers only require a Child Development Associate certificate, which is about one year of community college education. There are also scholarships available, mostly funded by the D.C. government, to assist staff with the cost of their education. <br /><br />See https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/district-among-the-first-in-nation-to-require-child-care-workers-to-get-college-degrees/2017/03/30/d7d59e18-0fe9-11e7-9d5a-a83e627dc120_story.html?utm_term=.aa7a00ad0d40.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520579370836470910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803826.post-36687999185516867382017-04-19T12:24:10.167-07:002017-04-19T12:24:10.167-07:00Is the degree required a 4-degree or a 2-year degr...Is the degree required a 4-degree or a 2-year degree? A 2-year degree in early childhood education doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

No, it's not fair, but a lot of daycare providers from what I've seen are requesting certified teachers and other people with degrees because it represents a caliper of people in the workforce. A person with a degree working in a daycare is very likely to come from a higher class compared to a person without the degree. The same thing happens with office managers and administrative assistants. They also do it because they can.Maeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275787661209979927noreply@blogger.com
