Hey Reggio,

Yes, in BC we do have subsidy for all types of care. If you are in a licensed/regulated space you receive more money so there is more incentive to the family to seek that type of care. If you have a family on sub the provider receives the funds and then passes them onto the family.

Here in BC we are facing the future problem of having Jr. Kind in place taking away lots of our 'older kids' spots ( as we are only allowed to have 4 under the age of four years old ( two of those can only be under two)). It is interesting that you have these 'agencies'. I do not think I would enjoy being regulated by an agency.... I will have to check the links you provided again to see more about them.

Thanks!
