Your Wednesday editorial on regulations and the high cost of Nevada child care demonstrates how the Review-Journal does not care about the health, welfare and education of our children. It is amazing you believe all the research on the importance of child well-being should be overlooked in order to make care cheaper.

The editorial encourages less regulation and less training for child-care providers. You quote J.D.Tuccille of Reason magazine, wh has no background in education, child welfare or anything related. You also based your opinion on an examination by the Archbridge Institute, which rated higher the states with the cheapest child care because of their lack of regulation, least training hours for teachers and highest children-to-staff ratios. According to this resource, the states with the highest scores in education nationally score the lowest.

Do you know what child care licensing is protecting? Should parents feel their children would benefit from unregulated and uneducated staff because it’s cheaper?
