Exactly. Obviously, no parents have complained about the far more affordable child care services we now have, but it's clear that the lower cost had led to higher demand. I think we could have anticipated this result, but it might have been hard to anticipate the scope. Indeed, workers are telling us that the waiting lists are significantly longer now that child care costs are lower.
When we look at what child care centres can do financially, we note that spots for infants are the hardest to fund because child care centres lose money on those spots. However, that's how young children enter the early child care system. That's what the board at my son's day care believes.
