WORRIED ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF $10 A
DAY CHILD CARE?
The $10 a day child care deal with Ontario and the federal government has been implemented. This will provide will provide numerous challenges to daycare providers/owners.
Daycare providers/owners can only partake in this deal if they are licensed. There is a disadvantage to become licensed through a traditional agency as the agency gains control of wages, communication with your families, making providers feel like they no longer have any control over their own small business.
The Early Learning and Child Care Agreement is a 5 year deal aimed to reduce child care fees for children under 5 on average by 25% as of April 1, 2022. By the end of December 2022, fees will be reduced by 50% and by September 2025, a target of $10 a day has been set.
All daycare providers/owners currently have these options:
1) Remain a privately owned daycare and require families to pay the same fees they pay now. This will severely limit future enrollment as families will be looking for daycares that are offering $10 a day care.
2) Become licensed through a traditional agency, where you will be subjected to agency fees and have less control over your own business.
OR
3) Become licensed through Kidz Clubhouse! We are a unique agency which allows you to maintain control of the things that matter most! We allow you to keep all the childcare fees. You will pay a nominal monthly licensing fee! We will help with programming, training and health and safety and work with you to have the tools you need to achieve success as a small business owner.
DIFFERENT KIND OF AGENCY
We know that the success of our agency all depends on you and your hard work and dedication. YOU are the one that is taking care of the children day in and day out and YOU are the one that has established nurturing and caring relationships with not only the kids but also the parents. YOU are the one that has made it all possible!
We are here to tell you that we see how hard you work and we want you to know that we recognize that. Unlike other agencies that pay the providers a percentage of the childcare fees they collect, our providers get to keep all the fees right in their pockets! That’s right, Kidz Clubhouse is the first agency of its kind that allows their providers to keep all the childcare fees and only asks their providers to pay a monthly licensing fee!
