So the new changes have passed, for the few of us here from Ontario, Canada.
For unlicensed providers we can now have 3 under 2 with total of 5 kids. As well we can stop counting our own once they are 4 years and enrolled in school full time.
There are other changes as well for licensed providers, but I dont think any of you are. (Basically same thing)
