so, at the start of september i lost my job... due to full day kindergarten the numbers in my pre-school room dropped dramatically (thank you mr.premier!).. i have been on this hunt for a job for over a month now and it seems like there are no jobs out there... and i need to make at least 600 hours before i can get mat leave in june.... has anyone been in this spot before and how the heck did you cope??

Re: No Job = No $$
A friend of mine changed jobs to work at Starbucks before her mat leave even though it was a slight pay decrease. She got the hours she needed and apparently they have an awesome benefits package.
Take a couple part time jobs if you can, and if you go into serving, make sure you claim your tips as income as that will affect your mat pay.
Ugh. As a parent, I love the idea of all day kindergarten because there are no daycares near my house, so now I won't have to worry what to do with my DD on the off days.....but I didn't realize this is what would happen to the teachers. I thought there would be an increase (because now instead of every other day, you have both classes running all day every day). I just assumed this would double the class sizes, which would result in more classes and more teachers.
I second what the PP said about any job. Food jobs sucks, and retail won't be easy for being on your feet, but it's coming up on Christmas time and I bet you can find a good job. And a few months of crappy work in order to have the year off would be worth it.
