Bill 10 ratios questions

[babydom]

I have a question...
Come this sept, 2015 I will have two spots open. So I am interviewing now. In sept ill have one turning two in nov. One Turing 3 in dec. one Turing two in jan. So what age can I fill my spots with?? I was originally thinking two new one yr olds. Because my now 1yr olds with turn two in November and jan when bill 10 in final. But now I don't know because any new kids after dec4.14 have to go by the bill. So I can't take a one yr old because I'll then have three 1yr olds till November when One turns two.???
I'm confused. Lol.

You're right, you can't take on any more 1-year-olds until one of your current 1-year-olds turns 2.

The Jan. 2016 compliance date is only for children who were in care BEFORE Dec. 4, 2014, the day the Bill received Royal Assent, meaning it passed it's third and final vote to become law. Any children taken on AFTER that date have to follow the new ratios. They gave us a year to get things in order, so there wasn't a flood of providers all terminating clients at the same time. People go back and forth on whether or not we can take on more 1-year-olds right now because it is before Proclamation, but in your situation, that won't matter, since you are looking to take them on in the Fall, and that is when Proclamation of the Bill (officially making it law) is due to take place.

If your current two 1-year-olds aren't turning 2 until Nov. 2015 and Jan. 2016, you can take on one additional 1-year-old in Nov. and another in Jan, but you won't be able to have 3 under 2 at one time, since they were not ALL in care before this previous December.

The only way providers can have more than 2 under 2 right now is if they were all in care with that provider before this previous December. Then the provider has until Jan. 2016 to be in compliance with the 2 under 2 rule - with those children. She can't take on any more.

Make sense?

Same here - most new client is infant - but you can target places to get those age over 2 who move into area. Think outside the box.

When I look for older children, I partner with realtors so my card in welcome packs for family moving into area. Doctors, hospitals, play cafe's, anywhere for toddlers more than infants.
