Proposed Changes to Days Nurseries Act.....with it's new name.

[playfelt]

The part about including your own kids is in a different section than the 2 under 2 rule. Your own under age 6 count but those over 6 don't count. However, a child over 6 that is a daycare child does count in your 5 so they have removed the ability to take a school age child for everyone of your own kids that was counted. That used to be how agencies were able to put 5 kids in a home.

Also note in the definitions at the beginning that the definition of "child" is changing from the current age 10 to age 13 meaning we can't have those extra really old b/a kids without counting them.

In theory schools are supposed to make spaces for any child over 6 that needs care effectively taking them out of the daycare system altogether. As well schools are supposed to have care for JK/SK. Leaving of course only those age 3 and under needing care.
