I would argue that it's already happening.
The data collection and the reporting requirements under the CWELCC program are pretty labour-intensive for child care licensees.
I've talked with a lot of licensees about this. The consensus seems to be that at minimum, so far, the CWELCC is taking about four hours of a supervisor's time every week, just for the paperwork related to the CWELCC. That's over 200 hours per year that could have been used to help support frontline staff or to work directly with the children.
I can quote one of our own operators about this. He said that the impact is that the time he would normally use running his day care is now dedicated to reading government memos and responding to demands for data and reports. It used to be that he would get emails from his staff with room inspections, playground inspections and so on, and he would either send them a quick note to thank them for keeping up the quality, or stop by their work areas to go over any issues they may be having. Now he can't do that. He doesn't have the time. He's stuck in the office, rather than interacting with staff and families and being able to monitor quality and equipment needs.
