Ontario Caregivers - daycare announcement due today

[Teagansmom]

Well it looks like that all 3 levels of government are going to pass this bill. For me my kids are older than 6 and I currently have no dc kids as I just relocated a little over a month ago. I feel horrible for all you providers who have young children who will now count in you numbers.

I have 6 children in care at the moment (my 3 year old daughter is included in this count along with my 5 daycare kids). I have a 5 year old and a 10 year old in school full time. My school aged kids are out of the house from 8:30 until 3:30. Some of my daycare kids get dropped off at 9:00am and leave by 4:30. So I will have an overlap of an hour a day.

If this passes I'm only going to let 1 family go (then I will still have 5 kids total in care during the day, my own 3 year old and 4 daycare kids).

How is the gov't going to enforce situations where the school aged children aren't even home during daycare hours (eg. maybe they have after school programs and don't get home till after 4:30). What if there is some sort of overlap.
How are they going to count this? This will be very hard to enforce.

acually if you read further down it says "if approved" so nothing has been approved. And it says that children under 10 are going to count in numbers. So its also just a newspaper and we all know how one sided newspapers are.
