With the announcement of the proposed Child Care Modernization Act, many individuals are hopefully of the changes in can make for licensed child care. Kelly Mathieson, executive director of Family Space Quinte Inc., which provides a home child care program licensed by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, says "it would really change a lot about licensed child care as we know it".
The proposed changes would include providing the government with more authority, increase access to spaces in licensed home child care, clarify programs that do not require a license and a focus on quality.
