Some families in Lanark County say they can no longer afford child care after learning late Friday that their home daycares would no longer receive ...
Carleton Place: Tyler Williams and his wife Christina Burkill along with their three children one-year-old Oscar, two-year-old Theodore, and five-year-old Coen, Saturday August 26, 2023. The Carleton Place family just received notification of major daycare changes coming due to cuts in funding and have left the young family trying to figure out how they will make working and daycare financially work.
Tyler Williams, who has two young children in daycare, said he and his wife Christina Burkill cannot afford to pay the $62.50 daily fees for each of their two children in daycare once the subsidies end. They currently pay less than half of that amount. Williams, a videographer who runs his own business, said they are not sure they can both continue to work.
Kelli Cassidy, executive director of Natural Connections Childcare, the Smiths Falls-based agency in charge of licensing the home daycares affected, said there was little explanation from the county about why the program funding was being cancelled and whether there was anything they could do to change the decision.
