I am not sure the regulations in Saskatchewan off top of my head but if they are anything like Ontario than yes infant care is always going to be the highest in demand because they have the lowest ratios of child per adult in a regulated setting .... in regulated care infants cost the most to offer service to because of the staff wages and the space they occupy needing 'separate' sleeping space and so forth in fact from my experience in regulated centre budgeting offering 'infant care 'even at the very high costs that they are results in the program being in the 'red' ~ centres who choose to offer minimal infant spaces do so not because it makes them money but as an 'investment' in those infants growing up to fill their preschool spaces and so forth where they can make money by keeping the preschooler when the family has another 'infant' verses loosing them because the client wants siblings together and if the centre does not offer infant care they risk loosing the family

Many centres in my home town do not even offer infant spaces at all anymore cause they had to tighten their purse springs and it was not worth it to be loosing money in that program so this drives up the demand even higher in the unregulated home childcare industry because regulated home childcare are limited to two children under the age of two as well.

I empathize with you ~ I too choose to follow the rules even though I am no longer regulated with an agency and frequently turn away infant clients because I am at my max of two children under two ... however the perfect clients are out there they just might take a few weeks longer to find ... I have always been able to maintain a full enrollment 98% of the time unless I choose to be low for other reasons besides not wanting an infant ~ aka do not like starting a new child over the summer because I love to able to travel and do not want to deal with transition a newbie out and about.
