The Radio show I was on...

[bright sparks]

Opinion noted: I just rather say unliscenced than unregulated which indicates that there are NO rules for us. Simply a difference in wording opinon but im sure we are after the same cause

It bothers me whenever it's used but not specifically by you. I understand what you are saying and for sure we are for the same cause. I don't think unregulated is a term to be used either, although the entire home daycare industry is unregulated by the government apart from the number of children outlined in the DNA....at least in ontario anyway. I think that there should be some information booklets given out in the new baby package outlining the difference between private home daycare, agency home daycare and daycare centre. That way a parent can be legitimately well informed with the facts and make a decision based on this not on the scaremongering of the media and the bad mouthing from the GP who either have had a bad experience or spread rumours without any sort of reliable source.

well said and agreed

I think that we have more time than they want us to think though, being an election year, no one will want to ruffle too many feathers. hopefully people will start with the studies I've been privy to hearing about. might even be in one! EXCITING! Then we can show them that we ARE the HIGHEST in quality

That's a really good idea! Good thinking.
