Ontario Caregivers - daycare announcement due today

[playfelt]

Maybe it's a good time to write to our MPs and Queen's Park??? I'm going to construct a letter over the next couple days. Basically, I just want it known that I am in favour of regulations, but not like this. The regulations must be reasonable and feasible within the home daycare industry. Really, our industry IS different than the daycare industry. It has been my experience that this is why I'm chosen by my clients. They've all said it - they wanted them in a home, not an institution. Many like my specific style, curriculum, menu. Forcing us into agencies, pretty much removes every daycare's individuality. In addition, I think I'd like to ask my clients (past and current) to write in as well. Does anyone think this might be a good idea on a much larger scale???

CCPRN has been lobbying on our behalf and demanding to be included in the discussions and from what has been proposed I can see that they were at least listened to - we weren't outright banned which is what the agencies wanted. I know CCPRN will continue to lobby and sure they would welcome the voice of other caregivers across Ontario to present a unified front. Go to their website and send them an email saying you want your voice to be heard too and how can you help the cause. www.ccprn.com
