Hello
I have started to create a website about what you need to know about home daycares. It has information on how to find a home daycare, what to ask in an interview. home daycare policies and much much more.
I hope you like it.
Please keep in mind it is still under construction

I think you meant to say "who" pays for ambulance, instead of "how"
Hi,
Get the best Daycare and preschool program in Mississauga by Alpha’s Preschool Academy and Child Care Centre .It helps to teach and nurture your child in a loving, respecting manner. For more details visit http://www.alphasdiscoveryclub.com/
Looks good. My only comment would be where it says are providers in it for the money the answer should be yes. This is a job for us just like any other and need to be paid
I looked at most of it and it looks good! I don't necessarily agree with it all but it will be a good reference!
I have a family member who is going to be starting daycare for her child soon and I think I'll send it to her :)
If any of you have any points of view on any of the topics just let me know I am willing to add other view points as well.
If there is anything I haven't covered that you feel should be there please let me know I will add it.
You can contact me through the website or email me at abouthomedaycares@ou tlook.com
Please also check out my other site: Running a high quality home daycare business
Would love feed back on this one as well. contact me through the site or email me at homedaycarebusiness@ outlook.com

Whatever happen to Judy? I wasn't on forum when she would contribute but I notice she had a lot of informative postsQuote:

She stopped posting on here after she started doing her website and blog. She came on here once a little while after, but it was only to promote her business.Quote:

How many of us know (or have been) someone who stayed at a job only for the benefits or great pay? Although, I don't think anyone can say a legal daycare provider is rolling in the dough lol. If someone is wanting to make a lot of money, childcare (home or centre) would not likely be the first option!
There was a local provider who was recently shut down. She was over her numbers and likely making good money because of that. However, she was not the nicest provider to the children in her care (parents, friends and family members of mine have told me stories of her). Someone like her is who I think of when I hear "she's only it in for the money". IMO, she had a home daycare so that she herself didn't have to find/pay for childcare, got to stay home and enjoy all those benefits that come with that but I don't think she actually ENJOYS children.
I fixed up that page. it now says "yes and no" as we need the money but also have to love what we do since after expensive we really don't make much.Quote:

I miss her input. Sometimes she did come off harsh with her comments but she was just trying to remind us of good daycare business practices and to never forget that this is a business that we run and to not make decisions based on emotion rather than good business sense.
Miss you Judy:)
I have updated the contract and have added EpiPen forms on the homedaycarebusiness. weebly.com website.
