Ontario Caregivers - daycare announcement due today

[playfelt]

Arts and crafts... Part 2 PROTECTIVE MEASURES; home child are; B

This is in the act which makes it sound like we can't have two providers and double the kids.

(8) For greater certainty, the number of child care providers at a premises shall not affect the number of children for whom child care may be provided in the circumstances set out in paragraph 2 of subsection (3).

I also read somewhere that this is something the Liberals have come up with but they have to get approved by the Conservatives before it goes through since the Liberals are minority so it could be a good idea to write letters to some conservative representatives too.

well if that isn't enough incentive to stop voting liberal ...I don't know what is !!!!!

But if two providers with an agency can have 12 kids, wouldn't they stil have to follow the ratios? Wouldn't it be even worse? Not sure how this would help at all as it would still be 6 per provider and following the ratios.

I've hated the Liberals for ages. The full day kindergarten was just the cherry on the sundae. Now, I see them for the crooked, irresponsible schnooks they really are. Had they done their jobs properly, perhaps we wouldn't even be in this mess.

I am not telling my daycare families anything at the moment. I have no idea what the timeline is on this and I don't want to cause them unnecessary stress and worry or risk losing them to a centre if they get in. If they ask me about it I will tell them the truth..I have no idea if or when this will happen but it is certainly possible! I also know exactly who will have to go as I will have to let go the two youngest who are also the two most recent to join...I would be bascially going by seniority which seems the fairest to me. I have no idea what those two families will do for care though as nobody will have space for one year olds!!!!!!!!

look at the even bigger picture, not only will we be effected, but so will parents and their jobs. When a parent can't find daycare then they will have to stay home, which will put a company in a bind too when they have to hire another employee. And what are the schools going to do with the kids that are over the age of 10 since they won't be allowed to go to the programs.

Take another look at that section Playfelt. It even continues with :

iv. The group of children does not include,

A. in the circumstances described in sub-subparagraph i A, more than two children who are younger than two years old,

B. in the circumstances described in sub-subparagraph i B, more than four children who are younger than two years old or, if a lesser number is prescribed, more than the prescribed number, or

It seems that if you are affiliated to an agency you could have up to 4 kids under 2yo. and total the double allowed (12 kids) if there are 2 caregivers.

Arts and Crafts, I am not sure how that helps though. It is still the same numbers per provider...still the same income per provider. Or I guess if you hired an assistant and paid them less maybe you would be ahead....but the thought of 12 kids in my daycare is a bit crazy!

the liberals have been criminal for years ....not sure how they get away with out being charged in our leagal system but .....the gas plant cancellation, here in Ottawa the green bin fiasco, ......hydro is going up 42% in the next five years .....we are going to be in the same pickle as Detroit before long
