Lexie’s Law

Posted by: Mike Schrant August 1, 2012 in KD Country 94 Local News Comments Off

State officials say a law passed 2-years ago has dramatically improved child care in Kansas, and improved the state’s reputation for the quality of its small family child care operations.

The 2010 law is known as Lexie’s Law. It requires training for day care providers. It also requires day cares that take in up to 6-children to be regularly inspected. In the past, those small day cares were inspected only in response to complaints.

Five years ago Kansas ranked 46th in the country for policies that govern child care centers. This year, a national organization rated Kansas 3rd.

About Mike Schrant

Mike is one of those guys who has spent nearly a lifetime trying to figure out what he wants to do when he grows up. He has split time as a broadcaster and educator having first worked in radio in the early 1970’s while attending junior college. The two careers are directly connected because many of the 25 years as an educator were spent teaching broadcast journalism at the high school and college levels. Mike is married and has three adult children (no grandchildren yet) and enjoys sports, debating politics, gardening, landscaping-hauling rocks, and swapping stories with the "good old boys".
