Naomi Weinroth, manager of Child Care Services at the Region of York, says the region’s current financial reality was not reflected in the letter. Weinroth was unable to give a timeline of how long the wait can be, and said it’s based on “call volume.”In the past year, the province announced a major investment in child care funding. York Region received $14 million in additional funds in 2017 to spend on its child-care program. Weinroth says the region received a number of calls after the Star story, but is still open to applicants. Liscio says the whole experience of applying for a subsidy has been far from easy.
