VANCOUVER (CP) — The widening gap between
government subsidies and actual costs is leaving quality day
care in British Columbia least accessible to the people who
need it most, child care advocates say.

And the fact that waiting lists for some group day care
spaces have shrunk or disappeared doesn't mean there is a
decreased demand for the service.

Indications are more parents may be turning to family
care where a child is cared for in a person's home — because
of economic reasons.

Group day care, where certified pre-school teachers
care for a maximum of eight children each, provides only 11
per cent of day care spaces in the province. Proponents say
this type of facility benefits them most.

“People are still skeptical about day care,” says Bonnie
Roberts-Taylor, a long-time day care supervisor who now

IN BABY BOOM

According to Ministry of Health statistics, British
Columbia is in the midst of an echo baby boom — postwar
baby boom children now are having kids of their own.

There were 36,861 births in 1970 and 40,104 in 1980,
B.C. Central Credit Union economists predict the number of
births will remain high until at least the end of the 1980s,
when most of the original baby boomers will be well into
their 30s.

“I think the sociology would suggest that there should
be new centres but in Vancouver that isn’t being borne out,”
says Peter Ashmore of Day Care Information.

There were 1,527 day care spaces in Vancouver in 1980;
now there are 1,578.

Sheila Fruman of the B.C. Day Care Action Coalition
favors capita for day care, having it treated much the
same as education or medical care.

“The eos ia "t being met in s systematic way,” she
says. Hbeeesadlat dtc ee

but the fundame: tal issue is tha t the system isn’t being r
in a way to be accessible to anyone who needs it.”

The New D ic Party, the O ition in the
provincial legislature, describes day care as increasingly
unaffordable and its regulation “increasingly complex and
bizarre.

SUBSIDY PAID
Currently, the provincial government pays a minimum
preyuy of $220 a month to the parent of a three-to-five-year-
oid in oup day care. The parent's maximum allowable net

income to qualify for full subsidy is $775.

The maximum subsidy has not changed since December
1981 and Human Resources Minister Grace McCarthy says |
there are no plans to increase it. 4

What that means, says Fruman, is that centres facing
increasing costs while running on shoestring budgets have
to increase their fees.

“The subsidy is less than the cost by al about $120.
Parents have to make up the difference.”
