Raising Rates in the event the new daycare bill passes

[Other Mummy]

Well, if anything at least some parents might stop nickeling and diming us. Unfortunately the providers that allow for 10/15/30 kids in their daycare will probably continue to charge a ridiculously low amount.

I'm just curious......if a parent is paying $65/day, how much are they making and what kind of career do they have? There is no way that most parents could even afford $40/day here in MB. I'm scared to think of how high your cost of living is in ON!!

a lot - I live in an area where a two bedroom home is over 1 million and rent is about 1800 for a small two bedroom

WOW!! How do people afford to live there? MB is way behind in wages apparently!! However, our cost of living is much less. A 2 bedroom would be about $150-$200 000 and to rent, maybe $11-$1200.

Ok, Im totally confuse. If this passes, unlicensed home daycare as to reduce the children from 5 to 4? unless you go licensed.

skyee...no. We would still be allowed 5, but we have include our own children who are under the age of 6 in the 5. If you go through an agency you would be allowed 6 including your own children under 6.
