Recommended courses of action to be followed in the event that day care enrolment declines because of decreasing government funding include: —more aggressive mar- keting of the day care and nursery school programs in the community and among agencies and employers; —studying the feasibility of summer programming at the centre; —consulting with the provincial Ministry of Community and Social Services on ways to ease the subsidy guidelines for families unable to afford higher day care fees. As a last resort, in case the very existence of day care in Wingham is threatened by funding cuts, the committee recommends considering: —amalgamation of the day care centre and the Silver Circle Nursery, which Our day centre newsletter still needs more articles, jokes, poems or pictures, so, if you have anything in- teresting for our newsletter, please submit it.

As background to its recommendations, the committee, made up of Mrs. Patricia , Bailey, Marc Forrest, Mrs. Jane Lane and Mrs. Janet Reid, noted that the current cost- of operating the day care centre in Wingham is about $22.40 per child per day, while the cost of operating the nursery school is about $7.33 per child fora half day. , Both programs are at or near capacity, the com- mittee reported. The day care centre is licensed for 30 children, while the nursery school is licensed for 25 children per half-day session. It also provided com- parisons showing that Wingham's fee, at $9.00, is in line with the fees charged by other area day care centres. These range from a low of $8.50 at Listowel to a high of $12 at Hanover.

Currie noted it makes no distinction between resident and non-resident users of the centre. He suggested the u.Qznmittee*old obtain this information' since, if it is to cost Wingbatn ratepayers more to operate the day care centre, the cost should be shared with other munici- palitieswhich also ' benefit from it. He also inquired how high the fees could get before enrolment started to decline. Mrs. Bailey said one centre had found that when the fee got over $12 per child the enrolment dropped dramat- ically. Councillor Jack Kopas, saying he could see classification of children into resident and non-resident categories leading to a quarrel with neighboring municipalities over cost- sharing, suggested that an alternative to municipally - supported day care would be private day care in homes. However Mr. Forrest noted the committee had un- derstood its function was to Henderson is on a three-year make recommendations on leave of absence from keeping the existing centre teaching in this country. open, and thus it had not Mrs. Gertrude Durnin examined that possibility. thanked Mrs. Henderson and Councillor William Crump, pointing out that the centre presented her with a gift.
