Here's an idea- why don't we rally up and start our OWN agency???

When I lived in Calgary I did daycare under a wonderful agency (Jan-Pat Satellite Family Day Homes). Not being any the wiser, when we were transferred to Ottawa I joined an agency here. Different as night and day and not for the better. I got out of it as soon as I could. There for sure is a better way to run an agency and you may be on to something. Something along the ideas of cooperative just might work.

Problem is the rules are still going to be the same. In essence we are being asked to follow the agency rules too so whether we do join an agency or not the rules will be the same. The being allowed 6 is a joke because of the full day JK and the schools taking over the over age 6 kids. I can't understand how current agency caregivers are going to manage as they are going to be harmed more than us given the fee to the agency per child issue.
