Canadian Providers - Bill 143

[Luna]

....including your own correct?

So if a provider has 3 small children of their own, she can only have 2 DCK's then?

That's the way I understand it.

That's the way I understand it.

yes if they are under the age of 6. Mine are older 9-15 so they don't fit. but at one time I have 4 kids under the age of 6, that would have been awful.

I read that it will effect a lot of the Montessori schools as well and they will have to abide by the ratios like everyone else (even tho I believe most do now anyway)

If passed I wonder when it will take effect... They will have to give providers/guardians time to transition into these new laws .

I see lots of issues with this bill that I don't see it likely will be passed! Although I am all for more strict guidelines for unlicensed perhaps maybe that all have to be registered at least. I have sadly met some bad seeds out there that really take advantage of clueless parents one lady had 11 kids and charged a ridiculous fee -- it was shocking she was so clueless

me too, acually I was just talking to dh on the way home today about this. The provider I know was posting pics of wine bottles and cases of wine bottles and open drinks during daycare hours. I've now come to the conclusion that she also drinks during her hours. I showed him all the naughty pics and even he couldn't believe it.

she also has been busted by the ministry for having way too many children, she said she had 9 kids that day, but my sis who lives next door said that its acually 12 kids. Did she learn her lesson, nope she still has more.

I've been sitting on the fence on calling her as I'm concerned about the kids but then it will the give the goverment another reason for the bill kwim. And I'm afraid of karma too, but I know what she is doing is wrong.

like she is going away for a whole week and is leaving her assistant to deal with all the kids, like who does this. There are other things too. And the worst thing is, is that she is friends with all the parents on facebook so they see her pics and what she is doing, but they still keep bringing the kids there.
