I work in a 5 star NAEYC accredited daycare center in North Carolina (USA). Out of 28 people that work at our center 1 is male! He has been at the center for over 7 years, he is 50+ years old, and works at the center from 1pm-6pm everyday. He is "allowed" to change diapers in the center but he prefers not to... this is his choice because in this world that we are living in he feels that by placing himself in that position he is leaving the door open for some over eager parent to say that he touched their child inappropriately. I think that it is sorry for our society to place such a stereo type on men! This guy is the sweetest most caring man I have ever met! He genuinely loves all of these children and would never hurt any of them! Name: Email: Subject
