Ontario Caregivers - daycare announcement due today

[Crayola kiddies]

So am I understanding this that if we stay unliscenced we can still have 5 but it includes your own (mine are in school so I don't care and I have a teacher family so those leave in the summer and I can insert my kids in their spots) .... And we can only have two under two. Is this right?

[Sassygirl]

Yes Crayola that is exactly right. 1 under 12 months 2 under 24 months including your own.

Ok thanks .... The only time this affects me them is during the summer when school is out .... So I'm not overly concerned

Do you mind me asking you how many kids you care for and their ages right now. I am just interested in knowing how you make this business viable with all the restrictions. My kids are over 10 so they will never be an issue but I am wondering how you will stick within the ratios and still be full? Thanks

sure .....current enrollment I have 12.5 months, 22 months, 2 yrs 1 month, 2 years 8 months, 3 years 1 month

I think that keeps me legal

No, you have 4 kids under 3 yrs old. It probably wouldn't come into effect that quickly though so your 2.8 will be 3 soon enough but as it stands now, you would have to get rid of one

yup you are right ...but if they pass this I have no intention of going with an agency so I would just drop a kid....and I know exactly which one would get turfed......muahhhah ahaha

I have one 17 mo, two 18 mo, one 2yrs 2month and my son 2.5 yo. If this is effective right now I will have to get rid of one of the younger ones and the 2yo. So I will be left with only 2kids. Over 3yo are harder to find since usually most are in their original daycare or out to preschool. Just to get by while I get a job or start another business I will have to rise my fees to the babies. I am thinking something around $10 to $15 more per kid.

I think so. But what about b/a school when your kids are home? Would that then put you over your limit??

This is absolutely going to affect me in a big way. I have two kids, one in half day SK and one that will be going to JK in Sept. I only have pt (seems to be the only need in the area), and I have f DCK. I'd have to get rid of 2, and tell the other three that they will loose their spots unless they want to pay for ft. Or raise rates. Either way, I either close, and the parents are out daycare, or I raise rates to keep my income consistant, and the parents get screwed. The parents are the ones getting screwed here.

And what about all these school aged kids during the summer when their board run care closes for 2 months?? Where are they going??
