    I agree! Finally a decent article from the Star.
    I am currently pregnant with my 5th child, my youngest son is 19 months and my older ones are all 10 and over.
    If these rules come into play I will have to close my door and most likely look into Social Assistance. I would need to upgrade all of my skills to get back into the workforce of my last career which was Legal Admin Assistant. I don't have the money to do that. It would also be extremely difficult to get a job in the service industry which would work around my husbands work hours so I would have to pay for daycare for 2 young children.
    I understand the inspections, which I would open my door with open arms. I am CPR/First Aid Certified, my home is clean and childproofed. I understand the idea of being licensed and yikes, paying the fee to be so.
    What I cannot get past is the not so much counting your own kids in your "5" under 10 rule its the 1 under 1 2 under 2 etc. That would cause me to shut my doors. Hopefully if this is implemented that is brought into consideration.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
