Ontario Providers- will your fees increase ?

[Artsand crafts]

I just got 2 calls this morning for daycare, one for a spot on December and the other right away, but I don't have spaces available. I cannot imagine what would happen if this bill is passed as is. People will be scrambling to find daycare.

Since I will have to let go 2 kids, I will be increasing the fees of the rest to cover expenses. How much would depend on the demand and how many people would be competing for the spots I have. I am thinking around $70 under 2yo (I currently charge $50) since this is what most parents around here pay to nannies per day and some had told me they would pay that if I had a license. For over 2yo the fee will go up too since I think there will be shortage of spaces for all ages since some daycare will be closing and others will have to let go even older kids to stay within ratios.

I also will be reporting any illegal daycare in my area. If illegal daycares operating are shut down there will be even more families looking for care, hence we can charge accordingly to cover expenses and stay in business. Playing by the same rules is only fair
