What Are You Doing Right Now

@wrcombs If you are receiving a subsidy from the state, there are bound to be requirements to receive the subsidy. This is one such requirement.
You are receiving low cost daycare, a requirement to that is an annual household checkup.
I get it, and don't disagree with there being stipulations on it. It makes sense to me, to ensure that the child is in a safe home etc.
Of course, I'm sure that these checkups then could evolve into CPS visits etc. But if it's not CPS, but a daycare provider. . . I guess I don't see why; why bother?
Why make the daycare provider (teacher) perform the check-in. Why wouldn't a CPS rep do this? I guess because you know the teacher, and not a random stranger from CPS. . .
-
In this daycare, since it is publicly funded, I wonder if the daycare provider is an arm to CPS. . . Maybe that is why the teacher is performing the check-in.

Because they dont want to waste city services on something as simple as a home visit ( @Dashrender allow me to clarify - its more of a parent - teacher conference but in the comfort of your own home.
IF they had to do a full home sweep CPS would be called ( im sure) but that has hardly happened ( never for me ) -

Of course it is, that's why the government funds it.
-
@wrcombs Does the teacher walk around the house, or do they simply come over and sit on the couch and talk?
If it's anything more than a sit down and talk, then it is a CPS assessment of your home, and the housing conditions for the child.
Even if you don't know about it.

There are differences between a CPS assessment, and a parent-teacher conference. Granted, a PTC at your residence very much leans towards a CPS assessment. . .

They come in, Sit down , talk ( usually about goals and such) then they leave. I offered to show them around the first time and they said it wasn't what they were there for.

Leave a broken down motor in parts on the living room floor, making a massive mess of the house and see how it changes their tune. . . /sarcasim-off

I'm not necessarily opposed to home visits. But personally, my feeling is that they should either be universal (every home, all the time) or should be blocked until there is reason to inspect. Not using low cost services as an excuse to use income disparity or social need as an excuse to inspect some people and not others (or some people with kids and not others.)
This becomes a form of discrimination. In the US we often accept discrimination based on income, but that's really not very sensible. And income is often tied to other factors, so it is automatically a proxy for those other factors.

Put yourself in the teacher's position. Typically this is a young, somewhat attractive female. They also have to be concerned about their safety and security as well. Therefore, probably wouldn't want to be lead to the backroom to be forced to do who knows what to them.

Then why force the teacher to do this at all if this was truly a concern? The moment they enter the home, they would be subject to these same influences with little ability to escape. . .

We tend to see it more in lower income because those in higher income brackets are either able to cover it up better or are able to bribe some government officials to look the other way.

There is always at least 2 of them if not more. but i could understand that

So they are simply trying to ascertain the child's needs through a parent who is only an emergency contact..
Seems like a waste of money to me. . .

How do they get to come there then? Why do you let them in? Call the cops.

Yes, in reality, it is you that are in danger. Probably not even a record of them going there since you aren't even officially the correct person or address.
