Losing kids to pre-school ugh !! JUst venting :)

If they reduce the number of kids that providers are allowed to have, then I guess rates would have to go up. But for that to work, ALL providers would have to do that across the board. Not just some.

so, we are allowed 5 now, right? is there a breakdown how many part time (define how many hours a day, or how many days per week), and how many full time?

i have 3 toddlers and 1 after school. 4 in total. these 2 toddlers in my care will attend full day kindergarten in sept 2013.

Granting they will come before and after school to me, I will still have 4 in total - 3 will then be before and after school, and one fulltime. With that 3 B/A, and one full time, it will be really tight financially.
So with that 4 kids in my care, would I be able to pay rent/mortgage on that income? Any thoughts on this?

Anyone have any idea what are the 16 recommendations of the jury on the inquest? I was looking where it is, but none I can find.

Registration recommended

The jury made a number of recommendations concerning unlicensed day cares, including that the ratio of adults to children should be same as for licensed daycares. Licensed home daycare providers can only have five children, including their own children, in the home.

The jury also recommended that all daycares, regardless of license, be registered, and that the Day Nurseries Act be amended to allow for unannounced safety inspections of registered daycares.

The jury also recommended private daycare providers be certified as trained and that there be no pools at home-based daycares. The Ministry of Education director for eastern Ontario had already prohibited pools in licensed home day cares in the region following a 2011 coroner's report on drownings in the province.


Other recommendations include:

• Asking the Ministry of Education to provide more public information on differences between home-based daycares and regulated daycares.
• Requiring municipalities to enact pool enclosure bylaws.
• Ensuring pool gates be self-locking, and establishing an inspection process to make sure.
• Requiring backyard pools to be supervised at all times when a child is in the pool.
• Asking realtors to distribute pool safety info to homebuyers buying homes with pools.

The recommendations of the inquest jury are not binding.

Jeremie's father Alain said after the inquest he hoped the recommendation might prevent a tragedy like what happened to his son in the future.
