    I do agree that the program was slightly biased but isn't the underlying message good? Isn't it important to have a set of rules and regulations that everyone needs to follow? I think we all just want to make sure children have the best quality care and not everyone automatically knows what that is. Regulations are set in place based on research and knowledge of child development. Why not just be licensed and tell everyone that that is what it important for our children?

    There are rules and regulations to follow. Part of the problem is that the rules have not been updated to keep pace with research and developments and the wheels of government move too slowly to make it happen in a timely manner whereas privately we can read the research and adapt it to our daycare immediately. Removing all 4-5 year olds for full day school now means the ratios do not make sense without them in care. The food requirements make no sense when we are not a headstart type program which assumes kids don't get fed at home - why should I be feeding kids 3/4 of their daily nutrients when I feed one meal and two snacks and parents feed two meals and a bedtime snack - no wonder kids are getting fat.

    There is no consensus between provinces as to what is best practice so that comes into play when determing how many children, whether you can even be licensed since in Ontario you can not be. Even a provider that works for an agency is not licensed as such. They are still a private home daycare but are contracted to take children through the agency. It is the agency that is licensed not the provider.
