We have just recently moved to Saskatchewan from Alberta. In Alberta, I ran a licensed, accredited dayhome. I am wanting to start a dayhome again here, but am kind of clueless about how to go about opening a private dayhome.
When I was licensed, I got a t-4 slip for tax purposes. They told me what all the rules and regulations were, what I needed to purchase, what kind of insurance I needed, etc.
What do I need to start a private dayhome? Do I need a business license? Register the business? I know I need insurance for the dayhome as well as extra vehicle insurance if I choose to transport. I know the age/ratio limits that are applicable to me. I am mainly wanting to know what paperwork I need to get ready before I can start my dayhome (permits, registering, licenses, etc).
Also, about financially managing the dayhome. Do I need separate receipts for dayhome vs home expenses? What receipts do I keep? How do you record your income, as in, do you give the parents invoices/receipts for each payment?
Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Even though I've operated a dayhome before, starting a private one in a new province is making me feel like I know nothing. ;)
