countrychick09 said "I don't know of a centre in westman who pays those wages. They are guidelines.. If the government would fund centres accordingly to pay those wages, perhaps there wouldn't be a shortage. The government has only enforced a $15.50/hr wage for trained ECE's since 2009. Hasn't increased since. "

School costs at ACC  
Tuition and books $8000 and they show 34 required courses in 2 years.  
 
Good luck finding more people to fill 12,000 spaces.  
 
Just to confirm wages. Winnipeg job posting

Registered home daycare providers before taxes and expences can't clear $30,000. After tax and expences and the occasional deadbeat that skips paying, hourly wages for a registered home provider is in the 8 to 10 dollar an hour range.  
 
But they have millions put into a childcare registry that still isn't working.

on-second-thought said "Here's a link to the ECE Salary Guideline from MCCA. For an ECE II, the starting wage is $38,486 for Level 1, and for Level 5 it's $48,108. Supervisors wages range from $44,407 $to $55,509. For a two year diploma, that's not bad money.     http://mccahouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/MSCGS-2015-2016-005.pdf     "

You realize that is only a guideline and does not have to be followed. Most centres use the wage enhancement from the gov to top upto 15.50 but if you use that you can't pay over 15.50. I'm lucky my centre pays me above that but I still don't make the starting wage of a level one even before taxes are taken off according to the guideline.

And I don't have to state my political affiliations here any more than you do, mystery person.     Since I've been on this site I have seen you make hundreds of broad, bold statements in opposition of the NDP, The Liberals, etc. - always spouting off about your knowledge of the interior workings.     I have not once seen you reveal your actual name on this site, so if you'd like transparency, start with yourself - typical conservative attitude - everyone needs to disclose every detail except Cons.     My name's Ken Jaworski. What's yours SJK? "

Very good.
