private

Answer 3

I worked as a teacher at a YMCA daycare.  We accepted children into our program from all different religous backgrounds, all parents had to due was fill out an application and if we had space the child was enrolled.  I was an employee and I am not religous at all.  The same for many of the other employees.  Our daycare was ran like any other daycare, based on education and skill building.
