I believe that the gov't will be looking for people breaking the rules and will totally make examples of them by fining them excessively. It is not worth it to go over for any amount of time, if you are caught (and there is always the chance) it may cost you your livelihood.
I believe the fee will be $250,000 in Ontario , I could be wrong as I am in Bc and no fee here but they close the daycare if over the ratio and even then it is not worth it to lose your career and /or your house because of an extra child
Yes I agree. I've told her or warned her. Hope she won't risk it :(
I am in BC too ...I asked my licensing officer, if I could get an exempt for over lapping my numbers 2 times a week for half hour each time
answer no
and if it happened by mistake I would have to write an incident report
if caught ....what would happen ?...probly a write up and warning but then change would have to be made very next day ...who goes ...who stays ...puts all other families at risk with security and insurance ,,so not realy fair to the other families ....
I tell parent ' No, I would be over my ratio and I can't because of my insurance' if they ask for an extra day that would puts me over my ratio '
it is interesting that not even an exempt for a half hour overlap 2 times a wk- years ago one daycare near me closed because of over ratio!!!
not worth it at all
