I think that was a wee bit rude. I didn't realize you were actually a real person, sorry. I haven't seen you posting in any of the other threads and wondered why you were trying to sell things, but I guess you mean to be helpful with deals to people in your area.Quote:

I would only be interested in daycare related deals like was posted by a real user e.g. Little Tikes Making Mud Pies (which I bought by the way).
Yikes, sometimes I forget the sensitivity level on forums so I apologize as well. You're right about some things torontokids, I haven't posted enough on the forum and that is something I will do more starting now. I'm sorry you're not interested in the deals, however I have posted kids related deals if you look close enough.Quote:

Okay, but my hope is people from around Canada will share deals in this thread. A lot of the ones I find are in Southern Ontario but occasionally I do come across ones in Alberta and BC.Quote:

I have posted summer camp for kids, I think that's very useful. If you have any deals or coupons to share, that would also be useful.Quote:

Summer camp is something you did post, but is only relevant to a very small portion of people on this forum as home daycare providers primarily provide care for under 5 year olds who generally aren't old enough to go to summer camp. Yes there will be a few providers offering before and after school care, and of course the older siblings of young children, but I imagine most providers aren't going to want to spend extra time at the door telling them about a summer camp that is only suitable for older children or pitch a deal about teeth whitening to parents at the door.
I started following this thread from the start in the hopes of finding deals and coupons relating to cheaper groceries and household products, toys or services DIRECTLY related to the theme of this whole forum which is childcare. If I could find some deals that would save me money and enrich my home daycare business, then this would be a relative place to post. Otherwise, my suggestion would be to post either on another forum where it is not the primary goal for daycare providers to support each other in our work field, or start the thread in the parent's section of this site. Maybe they will be more receptive of what you hope to achieve whereas I think most providers on this site are already overwhelmed by how many spammers we seem to endure at times, and really aren't receptive to your vision.
:)Fair enough. I don't want to rock the boat anymore than I have. Apologies everyone, I won't post here anymore.Quote:
