In Alberta it's not just the clients who are private, it's the whole day home - so I'm subject to ratio limits. I'm licensed and accredited, so I can only take 2 under 2, 3 under 3. If I went private I'd forfeit my wage top-up, which is almost 2 clients worth of $, so not worth it. I'll go without one clients pay for a few months before I'd let that sweet deal go.
