However, he assessed that not all\nof these practices meet licensing standards, operational procedures, or\nadequate quality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, I propose that the regulations for establishing daycares\nand their SOPs be improved and significantly tightened,\u201d said Abdullah\nin a statement in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>He cited daycare practices in countries such as Finland, Sweden, and\nDenmark, which are regulated strictly. In addition, those countries also\nintegrate daycares into the child protection and education system.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, he proposed that the daycare system in Indonesia utilise\na profiling or screening mechanism by parents through applications or\ndigital platforms.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he said the state needs to maximise daycare services,\nincluding providing subsidies as a form of responsibility in fulfilling\nthe right to a decent standard of living for toddlers and children.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding this, he also condemned the child violence committed at the\nLittle Aresha daycare in Yogyakarta. According to him, such heinous acts\nlack humanity and violate Indonesian law.<\/p>\n<p>As a legislator handling law enforcement matters, he asked the\nauthorities to take maximum action against all parties involved, both\nthe managers and the founders of the daycare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also urge other competent agencies to optimally restore physical\nand psychological trauma for the children and parents who are victims of\nthat daycare,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
