    Thumbs up

    CityNews Toronto's article included this, I quote

    "The opposition parties have said that the government needs to act against unlicensed daycares after two toddlers died in the Toronto area in July while in their care."

    This makes me so mad as they just lump us all into one bag and say they have act against us like they are fighting a war ffs!!! How about working with us to improve unlicensed home daycares?? If we have to become licensed we should be entitled to the same subsidies and grants that the centres can apply for.

    As for the ratios I actually haven't seen anything official with the ratios so if someone can post a link for verification then I'd appreciate it. Nowhere have I read or heard anyone talk about the effectiveness of the programs when there will be such big age gaps. The children's programming will likely suffer as it will be harder to accomodate the different developmental stages with one activity. 1 year olds and 3-4 yr olds don't even interact in centres so to increase this in home daycares is going to be problematic in my opinion. Doable for sure but far from ideal. And what happens when a child enters a new age group and throws our ratios off??? Do we have to give notice because then this whole thing will make it more difficult for everyone involved to have good quality, consistent childcare.

    So stressed out thinking about it
