I'm just curious because I know of provider who had no idea about the 2 under 2 rules.

Also, how do we prove date of birth? How will the ministry know if a child is 22 months vs 24 months?
Your welcome.

I have heard that they give a warning first. But that doesn't mean that they will. If you know of providers who don't know about the new laws please tell them about them. It is the providers responsibility to always be doing research on their business and making sure there are no changes in any of the laws.

I require a copy of the child's birth certificate at the time of the contract signing. The ministry has the right to contact all your clients. The can look at your contract etc. They have ways of finding out ages, so its best to make sure you can back up the child's age, as the fine is very large.
