BILL 10 - THE CHILDCARE MODERNIZATION ACT 2014 - it has now been passed after a less than democratic process. This Bill WILL impact you as a parent seeking care for your children. In particular if your children are 12mths old, you have multiples, or your children are between 10-13 believe it or not,
Currently, as an Independent Childcare Provider (ICP), I am allowed by law to take in 5 daycare children under 10 yrs old, not including my own.
Bill 10 specifies that ICP's will now only be able to take in 5 children under 13, with only TWO of those children being under 2 yrs old. We will now have to include our own children under 6yrs old in our numbers.
With the implementation of Full Day Kindergarten (FDK), daycare centres are rapidly going out of business, leaving many parents scrambling to find care... sometimes immediately. This Bill further restricts ICP's which means MORE childcare spaces are being terminated or are unable to be filled. Where will children go? What will your options be as a parent? Please get involved. It isn't too late. Visit www.cicpo.ca for more info on how to make your voice heard!
