I'm not very familiar with the differences between rural and urban areas. In rural areas, the distance between where a person lives and where the child care service is located is sometimes very large. In those cases, it might be helpful to use family child care where the staff have received special training.
The staff who offer family child care have to be very familiar with the quality required. The service could then be offered for $8.85 a day, as it is in Quebec, or for $10 a day elsewhere, on the condition that families be offered that quality of service. It is very obvious that the situation in the rural areas in the Gaspé, in the Lower St. Lawrence or on the North Shore is not at all the same as in a city like Quebec City or Montreal.
