So not impressed. It was one of my families that sent me a text this afternoon asking about it that brought it to my attention first.

It's already at second reading?

Crap. Am I correct that with the new rules (if they stay as presented) an unlicensed home daycare can hire a second adult and can have double the children? I don't particularly want 10 kids but it would be the only way I can keep my current crew of 5 kids aged 14-19 months. I don't want to lose this group (sure there are days I'd love to lose one or two of them lol, but I love this group).

Anyways, I am about to start interview for an ECE helper to work half days come August. But I may have to change my game plan and hire them full time and increase my number of children...not that it will be easy to fine a handful of kids over age 2. I shall do the math and see how many I need to take one to cover the cost of a second staff member.

Anyone know what the earliest possible time frame for this to come into effect is? My oldest dck won't turn 2 until mid-November.
