One of the very first things I do when I learn that I'm pregnant is that I block 1 to 2 hours of precious work time for what I call 'daycare cold-calling'. After subscribing to the waiting-list websites, I identify all the daycares in my area that manage their own list and I call them, one by one, to put my unborn child's name ('X') on their waiting list.
Not the most exciting thing to do, but it's one step closer to having access to a good daycare.
Being able to rely on a daycare that will help my child grow and make sure he's safe while I'm working or studying is a blessing. It might be the same for you today, last year or in a few years, or for someone close to you or a total stranger. If that's the case, I invite you to read the petition below and sign it today if you think the cause is valid.
Share the love Boys and Girls. Spread the word. Deadline is April 14th. Don't wait for tomorrow.
W.O.W. Tip: I've never signed a petition before and I'm not fully sure what will come out of it. But I see it like registering to a waiting list, it's something I can do that could potentially give great benefits for our children, so why not.
W.O.W. Technical Tip: I did it and it was done in 3 simple steps in less than a minute.

Une victoire pour les 15 000 signataires de la pétition
Le 25 mars dernier, le Conseil québécois des services de garde éducatifs à l'enfance (CQSGEE) a mis en ligne une pétition sur le site de l'Assemblée nationale demandant au Gouvernement de renoncer aux coupures financières dans le réseau des services de garde. La pression exercée par les 15 000 signatairesde la pétition a fait en sorte que la ministre de la Famille, madame Nicole Léger, a accepté de retirer le paramètre financier touchant les enfants de 4 ans.
De plus, le CQSGEE est très fier de vous annoncer que TOUTES les demandes contenues dans la pétition ont été acceptées. Ainsi, notre table de concertation sera mise en place dans les meilleurs délais. Elle touchera le développement et la consolidation du réseau des services de garde, le dossier de la maternelle à 4 ans et l'amélioration continue de la qualité de l'offre de services.
That's great news Lorraine. Thanks for the follow-up.
