Proposed changes in bill 143...

[superfun]

I think there should be some mandatory training for those without an ECE diploma and if that was requested under the new bill then I think a set amount of time say 12mths should be given to those currently working without any form of training in childcare.

I know that this has nothing to do with what you are facing in Ontario, but I found it really interesting anyways. This is exactly what is required in Manitoba to get licensed. If you don't have your ECE diploma, you have to complete a 40 hour course (I get to pick between a few different courses, based on what I think would be the most useful to myself.) You have one year to get it done after your complete the licensing process.
