@karinagould are you aware that Mothercraft Home Childcare agency in Ottawa is terminating POS agreements with home childcare providers? Every POS is 6 licensed spaces lost. 6 families who were paying reduced rates now paying full rates and 1 family with no childcare. #CWELCC
@MornaBallantyne "unlicensed unregulated child care — which is, you know, shown to be of much less quality,” Shown where exactly? How is this measured? Independents have been denied every request for a registry. Blowing out someone's light doesn't make yours shine any brighter.
@erniehardeman@fordnation@Sflecce And how are these hypothetical spaces going to be staffed Ernie? Why is the licensing process so slow and arduous? Why are independent home child care providers excluded when they provide care for 70% of Ontario's children in child care?
@KraftPB why did you switch from translucent jars?? Holiday treat making interrupted because I ran out of KPB. I thought the jar was full because it's the same colour as the PB 🤦🏻♀️
Perhaps @piamaraneta should have asked home daycare providers WHY they are reluctant to join agencies for a bigger picture of just how broken Ontario child care is. #onpoli#childcare
@heysherrik No convincing - more for me! I will keep the Whoppers and the outside of the Cadbury Creme Eggs - you can have the disgusting mess in the middle.
We are aware of a concerted effort to flood our 911 and non-emergency policing reporting line. This endangers lives and is completely unacceptable. (1/2)
@Sflecce Unless you provide legal, unlicensed care.
Children in licensed care 23%
Children in unlicensed care 67%
Is this really about safety or are you just playing politics with our health?
Using a vaccine as incentive is reprehensible. #onpoli#VaccinesWork#vaccinateChildCareworkers
@ROWPublicHealth@RegionWaterloo So will covid be checking for the ministry green card before entering home daycares? Asking FOR ALL OF THE WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN TAKING A RISK BY PROVIDING CARE FOR THE PAST 14 MONTHS SO FRONT LINE WORKERS CAN REPORT FOR DUTY
