Ya - seeing as with full day early learning centres are closing all over the place now is really not the ideal time to get into 'centre based' programming. Windsor just closed a whole bunch of programs - London has had three close in the past few years

Sadly infant and toddler care in 'centres' either cost money to operate or just 'break even' once you staff them and than on top you have all the additional expenses of equipment, food, the rent, light, heat and well you get the picture ... it was the 4-5 year olds and school age ratios where they were able to 'turn a profit' so to speak and they used that in order to cover the cost of offering the infant and toddler programs and with the loss of this age group to the 'school boards' centres are going into the red and well even a 'not for profit' industry needs to at the least break even
