Many caregivers in my area including myself only care for kids not in school so even the move to full day JK/SK isn't affecting us as we didn't do the half day either because of the bus runs.
What will effect us is the new push for 2 year olds in daycare/school but not sure that will actually happen widespread as there are too many issues starting with things like diapers, self-feeding issues which will change the ratio needs. This is the group that sometimes goes to preschool/nursery school now anyways.
We would still have kids up to 2 1/2 in daycare depending on when their birthday was so my program wouldn't change all that much.
A lot of caregivers would be put off since they don't want the babies so would be looking for other work which would leave more kids to go around for those that don't mind the babies. It will really have it's most impact on how comfortable a caregiver is with a certain age group.
