[...] Not all daycare providers see the use of cloth diapers as a means to practice what we preach; teaching this new generation of children about social responsibility, reduced consumption, conservation, and respecting the earth we’ve been provided. That said, both RDA and the RDIA are working on activities to facilitate the use of cloth diapers in daycare. [...]

Wonderful! My daughter attends an excellent child care center, which, unfortunately, is not open to cloth diapers…though they do permit the use of hybrids. I can’t help but think the use of cloth wouldn’t be any more difficult than using hybrids…and would likely be easier…but I’ve not been successful in convincing anyone to try. I am looking forward to seeing the suggestions offered for talking with child care providers regarding the use of cloth diapers.

I am SO glad to hear this news! My son attends a WONDERFUL daycare on our Army post–but they have not been open to cloth diapering. At first they told me that it was a “big Army” decision made by the Army’s head nurse, but I recently was told that if the state health department deems cloth diapers healthy, then a daycare center cannot deny their use. So I am checking into that, to see if the Army has different rules or standards to follow than the state’s health department rules! But anyway, thank you for posting this–I can’t wait to see the results! Maybe my future babies will be able to be cloth diapered at daycare!
