I am in Ottawa now but lived in Calgary from 1985 - 1990 in the Canyon Meadows area. I worked for a home daycare agency that is one of the best I have every seen loved Janet. Jan-Pat Family Day Homes. Also did a bit of work through the special needs program with another agency Little something.

I'm in the Northwest close to center street, I am private now when I started out I was through an agency they were pretty good but I like being private better. Where abouts are you in Calgary and are you private or through an agency? Not sure if I've heard of that Jan-Pat agency wonder if it still exists?

Looks like they have expanded their business and morphed into something else. I know they had started a website for providing supplies to daycare, families, etc. while keeping up with the matching clients to caregivers but looks like they have expanded even further. At one point I had listed my educational felts with them and that is how I know about the first change. But just did a google search and this is what I found. Not sure how current it is.http://www.caregivermarketp lace.com/index (http://www.caregivermarketp lace.com/index.asp)

I was going to say I hadn't heard of Jan-Pat agency either.

I am in the SE, pretty central though, not deep south. I am also private.
