Private daycare operators find bureaucrats inconsistent

The Quebec Association of Private Daycares wants the Charest government  to overhaul its licensing policies.

The association accuses bureaucrats within Quebec’s Ministry of Family of evaluating similar applications for daycare licenses vastly different from one another.  It wants the province to come up with a fairer standardized grading model.

Three quarters of daycare license applications for new spots have been rejected since 2008.  That same year the Liberal government  promised it would open up eighteen thousand new spots for children in Quebec. A quarter of those have yet to be made.
