If you are in Ontario, I think that now would be hard to leave them because, they're getting extra grants for home enrollments. And that's the reason that some of them are currently offering "free licensing".

Agencies work differently depending on province. Some pay their agency or they take cut in fees. In PEI, we don't pay for agency. Agency is private company but licensed and makes money not from their dayhomes but from government grants based on how many homes they have under their care.

It simply a matter of telling an agency that they no longer wanted and for some, waiting a notice period here. We can opt in and out of agency as we wish but I imagine if done too often an agency might not want work with us.

Only potential complication is subsidy clients as here need the agency to process the government portion of fees. For a dayhome to switch to private, they would need to wait until no client's getting subsidy or inform parents they switching to private care so subsidy clients get notice to find alternative carer.
