Are the facilitators trained to be caretakers for children?
No, the facilitators will not be caretakers. They are there to present their viewpoint on specific subjects, which may or may not be the parents viewpoint. Furthermore, although all facilitators are required to fill out forms allowing criminal background checks to be run as well as taking part in random drug and alcohol testing the Learning Center cautions against leaving children alone with anyone that the parent does not know. A facilitator may discuss material that a parent does not agree with and would prefer their child not hear. For example, although all facilitators are encouraged to clarify when they are sharing a theory they may forget to do so. A science facilitator may discuss the theory of the age of the planet. Some parents may be angry if, for religious reasons, they believe the planet to be only 6,000 years old and their child is learning that it is 5,000,000 years old, or learning a technique of carbon dating. A parent needs to be comfortable about allowing their child
