I am taking new families and even taking on an extra one in the New Year (I currently keep my number at 4 DC kids, when I can have 5). I am doing this in part because I want my clients to age and chances are I will loose one or 2 between now and then to a mat leave. A yr is a long ways a way and your new 12 mos old will be 2 then so you will be in better shape with the 2 under 2 rule. I am not mentioning the changes to the families until we get closer to them going into effect. I don't need families freaking out or finding alternative care now. Not a single family seemed concerned when I told them about the bill or asked them to sign petitions, let them see the fruits of their "in action."
