hi everyone, i live in northern alberta and have a private dayhome that has been open since sept. 09. i have one son, and care for 6 other children ages 1-5.
i stumbled across this forum yesterday while looking for some guidance on naptime policies due to a recent issue with a parent, and WOW. i am SO thankful to have found this space! living so far north with no immediate family nearby and few friends, i have found this job to be both rewarding, yet pushing me to limits i didn't know were possible. i have felt so alone in knowing how to handle the different issues that are common to daycare providers specifically, and at times have felt an acute lack of support and understanding. the community in which i live does not have any licensed daycares, and i only know of one other mom who has an actual 'dayhome' in the area.
i look forward to being a part of this online community, and have already found a wealth of information and support in just a couple of days!!
THANK YOU!!!
