A pro and con for you.
The more I sink deeper into the daycare world the more I learn about this industry. I've discoverd that Quebec is one of only three places on earth that has the type of subsidized day care - Finland and Denmark are the other two. Unfortunately, ours is not properly managed.
Surprise, surprise.
If you think government run daycares don't squander or abuse their subsidies, oooo nelly, do I have stories for you. They go with puppy eyes to the government saying they're not for profit but then turn around and show themselves to be no different than those bad boys on the private side.
Here's the thing in a North American context. The good thing about what Quebec tried to do is that it forced society to accept the realities of daycare needs and to at least attempt to professionalize the profession. The bad is we simply can't afford it. The government knows it; although private daycares knew this all along.
That's why the "CPE" government daycares will see their quality drop as subsidies will no longer come their way, while private day cares will be able to offer better services - on average of course.

A semi-private daycare owner strongly suggested I apply for a subsidy; even if I get turned down.
