The new FQA sheet is out about all the new rules of Bill 10 and one of the new ones is all children on premises count.....so parents at drop off and pick ups with a younger or older sibling count for those few minutes, play dates where the parents stays counts, etc. BUT.....Who would do you believe? I've called the ministry (Inreguards to home play dates) four different times.Different days, different person each time. My caregiver friend did the same.And we have both got the same answer every single time......if the child's parents stays those children do not count. !?!?

Q. If other children are present in the home accompanied by their OWN parent ( providers child’s friend visiting if parent stays, family member visiting with their child, parent and child coming for an interview, etc.) do those children count in the providers numbers?
A. Yes. All children on the premises count in your numbers.

I thought this was a no because their parent is supervising and is in no way a part of your daycare. What next...please leave yor Childs sibling in the car when dropping off and picking up because it puts me over ratio....what a crock!!

I know. Ppl are outraged because even the child in the car is left in your driveway which is on your premises so,they count. So petty so stupid. But yet when I called muliptal times I was told it was ok. I just do not know whose word to take to not risk a fine!!

Why are they doing that? I don't see why that even matters. They are just coming out with outrageous rule they can fine more people that's just ridiculous! I still don't understand how they plan on finding these daycares that are private that don't follow the bill 10 or even numbers makes no sense to me

But parents can get fined for leaving a child in a car so now what?

I know it different province but play dates count here too even if other adult if they are in a dayhome. We can have play date with other providers in public place just like children meeting new friend who is there with own parent. The second a child step into the house, they are counted. We also have this if sibling with mom at pick up/drop off. We have to explain that they count, that this our livelihood and we must not risk being closed down and so sibling must stay in car or parent and child remain on doorstep for us to get coat and shoe on child who here.

The only way to regulate home daycares effectively is to license them as individuals and independently. That way there is a database tracking everyone. Without a license then it should be illegal. Like trade people, they may be capable of doing their jobs, even trained, but no licensing means they are not allowed to do their job. It should be mandatory and work in conjunction with the CRA to help to also deal with those working for cash under the table. Any rules in place will not be enforced properly and efficiently unless they can keep track of all providers and visit them regularly to make sure they are sticking to the rules ongoing. It would be harder for people to hide if they are breaking the rules and because it would be monitored better in general, less people would be inclined to break the law of there was regular inspections that were actually carried out.
