By: Insurance Journal<\/a> Childcare providers across Indiana are scrambling to find money to pay for broader criminal background checks of employees and educate staff about new rules to improve safety and prevent child abuse ahead of a July 1 deadline. Indiana lawmakers this year beefed up requirements for home-based daycares, licensed centers and ministry-based child cares that accept vouchers to help pay tuition costs for low-income families this spring. new balance femme<\/a> The changes come a year after a 1-year-old drowned in an Indianapolis church\u2019s baptismal font during daycare hours. cheap ffxiv Items<\/a> Barbara Newton, director of First Presbyterian Preschool in Franklin, said she supports the tougher standards. \u201cIt\u2019s expensive, but the cost would be even greater if you did nothing,\u201d Newton told the Daily Journal. \u201cSome parents are forced to seek out the cheapest options for child care, and this will help make sure the cheapest option is also a safe one.\u201d The changes come at a cost for day cares, which must fingerprint all employees and conduct detailed FBI background checks. Those costs will rise to about $40 per person, up from the $7 charged for limited state background checks used in the past. The FBI checks must be done every three years. Melanie Brizzi, child care administrator for the state\u2019s Bureau of Child Care, said digital fingerprinting and national criminal checks will prevent day-care operators from unwittingly hiring people with a history of felonies or child abuse in other states.

Elisabeth Jones, interim director of First United Methodist\u2019s Learning Tree childcare classes, said she supports the new standards. timberland pas cher<\/a> \u201cIn general, it\u2019s a good move for the state of Indiana to keep all of us on a level playing field in regards to who is taking care of our children. nike air max<\/a> The national background checks will help with that,\u201d she said. adidas pas cher<\/a> She acknowledged that the cost of the background checks is a concern at her 30-employee operation but said the additional outlay will be worth it in terms of safety. \u201cI feel like the more systems in place to regulate these things, the better the state can watchdog whichever facilities aren\u2019t compliant with the safety of our kids,\u201d Jones said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
