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.
