    CAS has nothing to do with childcare. She may be saying this because she is a) a provider that became involved with CAS and this is info the worker gave her (who is then also misinformed) or b) she herself is involved with CAS with her own kids and was misinformed by her worker.

    I wouldn't worry about it

    This is from the Ministry of Education web page. Read at the paragragh below the pictures. It shows the only restrictions for informal (independent) daycare:

    I shared this exact link with her, Artsand Crafts, thanks! Looks like I've finally gotten through to her. I just want parents and providers to actually have the correct facts before they start forming their opinion. Thanks for the clarification, torontokids! Always good to make sure MY facts are correct, too!

    I've run into the same issue on FB with an otherwise intelligent well informed friend. He suggested that I consult my lawyer when I told him I wasn't licensed. Not licensed =/= illegal.

    What KILLS me is not knowing when this bill will come into effect. Not knowing how to plan out my life, my LIFE, freaks me right out.

    As I said before, it's better to be proactive than just sit, and wait for the ax to fall. Contact your local chapter of CICPO and join in! Everyone in the coalition, myself included, are working our buns off to have a say in this issue that affects all of us. We need more people! Join the group, talk to friends, family, clients and get them to join the group. The information package put out is fantastic and very easy to understand. There's also a form letter for parents to sign and mail to MPPs. Send via traditional mail though as I heard that politicians aren't obligated to read email, but are for traditional mail.

    If this bill is going to affect your life in a negative, substantial way, then get involved. It feels much better to be working with a large group of people all in the same boat toward the same goal that it be scared about your future all on your own. I'm terrified of this bill too! My family depends on this. It's my only source of income and the ONLY thing I'm trained to do as an ECE. If this falls through, we're in big trouble. This is why I refuse to just sit on this.....I want action but it's not going to happen without effort from lots and lots of people. I think this is worth fighting for, don't all of you?

    Cfred I am not in Ontario but would happy to sign a letter or something if that helps?

    But I have to be honest I have always had restrictions on age ratios so for me, if I came to ontario it would be the same as before..:s
