How does Bill 10 Affect before and after school care providers?

This is exactly why I was confused! They imply its for safety when clearly that makes no sense. I don't get why they don't just say it like it is because I find extremely offensive that they think we are stupid enough to believe that. I thought maybe I wasnt understanding but I think I got it now and this is all to get more money out of tax payers.

80% of people choose home daycares for a reason vs. a daycare centre. If people couldn't afford daycare center rates before I'm not too sure why they think they would now. Some people love the home aspect and the low ratios and their kids not getting sick all the time. If they eliminate home daycare spots to open up more daycare centre spots who already have a higher ratio to begin with, how will that help at all? Also in the news when a child tragically dies and gets hurt its all over the media toddler dies at ILLEGAL daycare! What in the hell is an illegal daycare anyway?! BUT when a something happens in a licensed daycare centre the media never ever says "infant injured at licensed daycare" the licensed part is usually taken out and never really talked about. If you google daycare deaths those are majority at daycare centres! Ugh so annoying!!

If they were so concerned about a child's safety why don't they reduce daycare centre costs and reduce more money through subsidy! Daycare centres aren't any better then home daycares. I have worked/did co op while in school and after seeing what parents get in return for what they pay for, I made it my goal to open up a good home daycare to help parents and to educate their children and make time for everyone.

It just makes me so sad because I know my rates are pretty low 35 per day and if I increased it to $40 per day many families would have to leave. I had a part-time family who came 3 days a week and our Christmas party fell under a day where they didn't come. They couldn't afford one extra day and I felt so bad I let them come anyway. Many families out there really struggle with money and forcing people to go to daycare centres isn't going to help if they don't have the money for it!

Another thing is the providers who will continue to run their daycares illegally and will benefit now more then ever because they know people who can't afford it or people who have no time to wait on a waiting list will have no where else to go. So if the are trying to eliminated deaths like Eva Ravikovich they won't it's only going to get worse.

Why is the blame always put on the daycare providers and never the parents??? The parents are just as much to blame....like in the case of Eva Ravikovich that provider had 40 kids in her care and 17 dogs ....REALLY??!!!!! Vaughn is a smaller town so don't tell me no one knew this women had 40 kids and how do you not hear 17 dogs lol...I heard that provider had a pick up and drop off service....that is still no excuse...parents have a responsibility as well and its time they are held liable and not just the provider....that day care also had so many complaints that the government failed to investigate!
