Best and worst part of your job

[Spixie33]

I live in Quebec where we have $7 daycare for anyone...there's not minimum salary...parents could be a lawyer and a Dr and still qualify for $7 daycare! Which unfortunately encourages parents to overuse daycare. I'd say about 95% of mom's home on mat leave send their 1st born to daycare full time. They justify because they don't want to lose their spot in daycare and "they want to give the baby the same one on one attention" that the 1st born had! PLEASE! Oh well. Not the poor kids fault.

Wow ! $7 a day. So how does it work with the government then?
Does every daycare have to be licensed and then the government subsidizes the difference in fees??

Well, there are also private daycares, too, since the gov't can't subsidize all of them. But there are a lot of subsidized....I started out private, and was on a waiting list for about 2 years to be "accreditted" by the gov't. The only difference it really makes for me is less turn over. When you're private, parents are often just waiting for a $7 spot.
