Oh lawd - 2 year olds going to school?

[playfelt]

Each province has different rules for home daycare. Ontario does not have licensed providers. It has some licensed agencies that contract with providers but we do not access government programs directly nor does the government control any aspect of our daycare except the number of children limitation. We are just dealing with the loss of the age 3 1/2 and up to full day junior kindergarten leaving only 3 and under for home daycare providers. Now that will be even more reduced to caring for only children for one year till they can start "school". Because we are not licensed they will be sent to daycare centres for school. Only the ECE workers in a daycare centre will get any wage benefits. A trained ECE that chooses to have a home daycare does not count for anything more than the mom who stays home with her own baby and opens a home daycare.
