Ontario’s education minister says the province will be moving forward with planned changes to its $10-a-day child care funding formula despite calls from private daycare operators asking to put the move on hold.
Additionally, the province announced that it would be capping parent fees at $22 a day across Ontario starting in January. Debbie Cunha, owner of the Little Kids Daycare in Oakville, told CP24 on Monday that she believes things like replacing a broken refrigerator would now require daycare operators to go to the municipality to ask permission to buy a new one. Staffing decisions would also now be out of the hands of operators, as they are only allowed to staff per the ratio requirements outlined by the ministry, she said.
She added that she has recently met with her federal counterpart about the ongoing issues of funding the $10-a-day program in Ontario and said she has asked Ottawa to come to the table with more cash. Some private operators in the GTA have also threatened to pull out of CWELCC as a result of the changes coming next year.
