Cooperative Agency - ONTARIO

[lauramartin]

YAY! This is fantastic news! I'm an independent childcare provider. I've never had problem filling my spaces or doing the administration myself so I've never had a need for signing up with an agency. I did explore the option when I started out but they wanted to pay me significantly less than the going rate but charge the parents even more, that's a high price tag for admin so it didn't make sense to me. The only real set back for me is that I can't take in subsidized children because I'm unlicensed, I've had to turn away families that wanted me personally to care for their most prized possessions. I would much prefer this option, I could still cut out the middle man and have the freedom to run my home daycare the same way I have been for the last 6 years.
