The Mayor and the City Council should be pushing for Daycare Centers to offer a Curricullum that is geared towards truly educating our kids early.  Earlier this week, the W5COE sent out the following email.  If this Church can offer a curricullum that is tied to the STEM approach, then our City Council and Mayor should be putting forth the necessary legislation to mandate that Daycares also update their offerings to be more substantial.  Looks like the costs is about the same or even less than what is being offered at this Church. 
 
If Daycares are going to utilize the Public Funds, they should be monitored as well as held to a certain educational standard.

Dear Friends,
 
I know I rarely send emails requesting support for a petition but, oh well... I do need your support this time because the cause is very close to my heart (and yours, if you are in DC).
 
Mayor Gray wants to reverse a rule that allows home daycare centers to expand. He will force them to revert back to 10 kids instead of 12 (that's 20% for those math whiz-es out there).
 
"My Little World" is my baby's daycare center. If this rule passes, two of his friends (or maybe Julian) will be kicked out. I wish I could show you how happy all the kids are there, how much they learn and enjoy each other. I should also tell you how much Maria and the teachers do for the babies. You can probably picture her surrounded by a horde of babies with snotty noses fighting for a toy and pulling from her pants. And Maria smiles like nobody else, she cleans noses, soothes nerves and keeps everyone happy.
 
Please help Maria and the community that depends on her to be able to keep all her babies in the class.
Sign this petition today. Julian says thanks and waves buh-bye with his sticky hands.
 
 
Ileana
 
PS: please post it on facebook and forward it to your fellow mamas in DC. Together we can find the support the deserve.
