No compliances - no ratio - just a classroom of 20-30, 3 -4 year olds who are babes and should not be in a traditional school setting because it is much too young for them.

They are forcing Private Daycares to close up shop - by not making it affordable so you can all send your children to school

I won't be able to continue as a chidcare provider AND I'll be forced to put my own children into a daycare. That just won't be fair.

I have an unstructured day that allows for individuality, plenty of play time both indoors & out, nutritious meals & individual sleep areas. I always have a full roster of children by parents' referrals. One family came to me from an unsuccessful licensed daycare experience.
As an independent, I can offer parents part-time spots and 1/2 days for parents who prefer their children in 1/2 day kindergarten programs.
The government should be encouraging & supporting home daycares; not making it more difficult for those of us who open up our homes to children & their families.
As a small business, I pay into the tax system. If my income is negatively affected by proposed changes; and I need to look at other employment options, that will mean 5 more families looking for daycare in an overcrowded system.
As the expression goes, "Don't throw out the baby with the bath water".

I believe that forcing everyone to work through a licensed agency takes away my professional right to private enterprise in my chosen field. That said, I do believe in the need to revise the DNA and would like to see it move in a direction where only qualified professionals can operate private home child cares.

I have a pool in my back yard and take all precautions for the children to ensure their safety with the backyard being locked and excluded from daycare use. I have NEVER had an incident that a child has gotten hurt. I pay my taxes and take good care of the children and have references to prove it. It takes just one incident from someone that isn't careful to ruin it for everyone else. I believe there are a lot of daycare providers like myself that take our job seriously and should not have to be licensed.

my due taxes. In my opinion we should be
allowed to make our own decision together with the parents. These isolated incidents do happen in licensed day cares as well.

I visited several agency-run sites and was dissatisfied with all of them. While I agree that some form of registration and standards should be in place, excluding/limited independent home daycare providers would be a detriment to many; parents, children, and the daycare providers themselves, and their families.

There are amazing providers who will close if such arbitrary decisions are made. Also, children with different environmental needs will miss out if these changes are implemented. We should always look to do what is best for the children and I believe that means having the most choices available. It belittles many great care givers by generalizing us with some bad examples, we deserve better than that and our children deserve more.
