Limits in Your Province/Territory. please

[superfun]

I understand how difficult it would be to have to make these adjustments. If I were in your shoes I would be doing the exact same thing. However, the more I hear about your agencies, and the licensing rules, the more I appreciate the system in Manitoba.
To me as a complete outsider in this situation, it seems like everyone should be fighting for a licensing system run properly, and totally get rid of agencies. I get to offer my families daycare for $18 -20 /per day. If a family meets subsidy requirements, they pay me $2/day and the province sends me the difference. And every 3 months, I get an operating grant based on the number of spots I'm providing. So it puts me right back in line (income-wise) with providers charging $30/day. So I'm making more money than I was when I was private (and charging 30-35), with the way it worked out I'm able to have 4 paying preschool/infant spots, instead of two. My oldest daughter is in school full time but I wouldn't have been able to fill her spot without being over. Now she's using a school age spot and I can have a paying family in her place.
