    Question for Ontario daycare providers

    Why do they hide it? Because then they can't use us as a stopgap!
    This is one of the first questions I ask applicants, whether they are planning on going to a centre later. If they are honest with...

    It sounds like a scam to me. They haven't met you. They are willing to send an entire months fees to secure a spot. Sounds like they will send you way more than what you're asking in the form of...
