Licensing question..

[Sandbox Sally]

I really would like to figure out a way to push the government of Ontario to allow day homes to become licensed if they so choose. I personally would jump at the chance. Parents feel safer (although this is mostly unfounded, IMO), and we could accept subsidized children as well. The subsidy thing is huge here in Toronto anyway, because nearly everyone qualifies for at least partial subsidy. If we can't accept subsidy, we can't accept the child care kids, and their parents are forced to go elsewhere. SUCKS.

We can in Ontario accept children with subsidy - you just have to apply for it. I think it's a waste, and wouldn't want to go through all the trouble.

Parents feel safer

- but some don't at certain daycare centers because the centers are too large. Parents that I've spoken to like home daycares much better as it's more one-on-one care-giving.
