Is charging $50 per day too much for a licensed home daycare in Manitoba?

I don't understand centre's charging more? I thought all centre's in Manitoba were licensed and funded.

The regular daycare centres are funded and parents don't pay high fees, it is the private centres (like Montessori ones) that are licensed but not funded so parents pay a more premium rate. But the Montessori centre near my house always seems to have vacancies, where as the funded daycarw centres always are full with wait lists.

I find that group daycares tend to charge more, one in particular charges $60 for P/T in my area and they seem to have no problem filling the spots! I recently had an interview with parents who ended up registering with a group daycare. They were looking for care for when their son turned 12 months. The father commented that children would be exposed to more in a group daycare.
These type of daycares market themselves well but I don't think they're as great as they tend to portray.
