Daycare fees (Manitoba)

[mickyc]

I am private and in Manitoba. When I first started up a friend of a friend helped me get started. She was licensed and took subsidy. She told me to stay private if I could and if I decided to go licensed to not take sibsidy. She also regretted it as well.

I should add, you can switch back anytime. You don't have to stay funded.

Where I live, I am the only licensed home daycare. Everyone else isn't and they charge $30 per child. I am aware that I can turn down the funding. I was wondering if anyone did? It just seems to be getting more difficult to make a decent living with what the government sets the fees at. Cost of food is getting more expensive along with everything else but our fees haven't changed with this. The government is talking about looking into this but who knows if and when anything will come of it.
