Also just to clarify ~ Regional run meaning not just a 'licensed centre' but one that is OWNED and FUNDED by the City of Brampton in your case ... cause my current city does not have any regional run programs cause the City counsel here felt it was a conflict of interest since the City decides how to 'divide childcare funding' fronm the Provincial government therefore felt they should not own any of said childcare programs .... but we had centres like that in my hometown and my experience was regardless of demand in 'normal' centres they always had way long waiting list for special needs and subsidized children and they would triage who got into them based on need so someone with 'minor special needs' would be way at the bottom of the list ... back than Jk and SK were still half day or alternate days but even then if the child was 'eligible' age wise to be in school than they were expected to be in school ... the government would not fund them being in the centre full time cause in their mind they were already funding the school options (we argued in a couple cases for compassion to this cause the child was just not developmentally ready for school and they would not budge ~ parent was free to PAY for the kid to be held back in a centre but they would not allow them to use the subsidized system)
