Can some explain Quebec $7.40 daycare system. Lot of questions.

Do you know if lot children in unregulated private dayhome?

I get all my numbers directly from the Minister of Families (the MFA) that runs the daycare system. They publish their numbers and also the inspection reports from the CPEs, the Daycares and fines imposed, etc. I love the internet. I also have lots of free time.

Edit: I'm sorry, Suzie, I actually misunderstood your question. I do not have numbers for children in unregulated home daycares. I was thinking about the regulated, unsubsidized spaces. Those are reported. I am not certain if there could be numbers for private home daycare because there is absolutely no oversight of them.

I made reference in an earlier post about serious incidents and complaints about private daycares. These are reported to the MFA, (gov't) and I will try to find out if I can get actual numbers.

In my small town, in the 10years I have been open, there have been several private home daycares come and go. 6-12 months, is maybe the average. Recently, however, it seems like there are more. And they're advertising more aggressively. Taking advantage of the tax credits available and they are people with early childhood backgrounds. Serious people, looking to make a career out of it. Competition. I am lucky to have a full house at the moment.
