    FDC is going to a ratio of 1-4 in 2014 so it will affect them (and us) but not for a few more years.
    The sad part about this is that while CC costs are set to go up, wages for early childhood profesionals are set to go down but thats a whole new thread.

    I guess when you think about it, it can't come in earlier than that as they will have to rewrite the childcare regs with all the new numbers and room configurations, etc in it and all the new qualification rules. Given it's a government agency doing it, it will probably take a long time and a pile of money, sigh.

    Ah yeah, that's unfortunately true!
