Voted! Good luck!

Exactly my thoughts.

Lol! I was just curious to see what other provinces are doing. I know we had quite the conversation yesterday about the cost of the co-op in Ontario, but I know each province can be completely...

Can I ask how much it costs to be individually licensed in Saskatchewan and other provinces that do this?

This is why I said that if the Ministry really wants oversight of all home daycares, they should figure it out themselves. There have been many, many inspectors visiting daycares in my area to make...

I do not think its you vs. us. That is clearly not the case. As I said, I am happy that someone is trying to find a solution for us. I personally, just see problems with this and I'm just stating...

To me, the co-op would push the providers that wish to remain completely independent, out of the business. I don't really see it as an 'option'. If it happens, parents would not understand why you...

If the co-op came to light today, with the 2 daycare children I have currently, my rates would have to increase by $2.15/day. We all go through periods of time when we have empty spaces for a little...

I know that a portion of the co-op fee would go towards inspections. I'm not someone that's all for the inspections. I'm running my own business out of my own home. Having someone come into my...

I agree. If the co-op is approved and comes to light sooner than later, my own children could still be under 6 which leaves me only 3 daycare spaces. I've had an 'over 2' space sitting empty for...

When I say waiting to see how it plays out, I meant including the co-op... Waiting to see if the government allows it and then waiting to see what happens with UCC. Most of us aren't involved with...

Do parents really want us increasing our rates again?? Many providers have already done this due to Bill 10. How high can we go before parents can't even afford a home daycare? A lot of parents...

With Universal Child Care (if it comes into effect), my understanding is that it will be just that... Universal. That means it would be for anyone regardless of income. So, not necessarily families...

I totally agree with everything here!

If the co-op is formed and especially if UCC gets implemented, we may have no choice but to join in order to stay in business. If many providers begin...

I will keep my fingers crossed!!!

I am aware of this. Personally, I'm not sure if I really like the idea. It won't change the laws. If the CCEYA stays as is, parents will still have difficulty finding a space for their one year...

I figured there was probably no hope. Thought I'd ask just in case there was something going on I didn't know about. I feel so bad for the parents that can't find a spot for their baby or have to...

This could be a stupid question... I think I'm just clinging onto a little bit of hope! With the Child Care and Early Years act in effect, I have been seeing and experiencing a lot of issues. All...

I would have to agree with the other comments. As a parent, if I was paying for a full time space, I would be PISSED if I had to change days and was told I couldn't because another child was...

If you are looking for a home daycare in Ontario, as BlueRose mentioned, the government has put some new restrictions on home daycare providers which has limited the spaces available for children...
