I agree the hysteria level has reached epic proportions - and I am one of the biggest nail biters. I have two older boys that no longer come to my daycare but pass by my house. Their mom told them...
Good One! The only two things that I truly will not change is anything financial and naps. And a one year old sheesh! The child does sound over-tired and the parents sound like they are endlessly...
Not sure about the other 30 minutes of the conversation and I would not care. His intention is clear to me. Don't like the way he is doing business with you. I would terminate immediately and tell...
I agree but far more strongly. Nothing veiled about this. He is threatening you using a passive-aggressive tone. I would not take on the little sister. Any little thing and I would be wondering about...
Is this still on cfred? This morning it was announced that Lisa has decided to step down from the leadership race and hasn't decided whether to leave provincial politics (Globe Feb 6).
I currently have a family that supplies food. They want her to have only organic foods and no white flour and little sugar. We are not organic due to cost and I do bake for the kids (muffins, apple...
Playfelt, Do you know where in the Act it defines the child as one under 13? I have two ten year olds that I guess I must terminate. Can I let them finish the year? What kind of time line do we...

I know it is not the subject of the original post but learn from this example. Never take friends, neighbors or relatives as clients - it can sometimes end badly.
I like to point out to prospective parents that unlike centre-based care we go out to programs in the city (library, E Years, parks, zoo) and so do not spend all our time in my home.
I have had to change my operating hours over the years. I don't mind if hours extend to 6:00 as many of the families here use the Go train to Toronto (I do charge an extended day fee however). I...
I agree with Play and Learn and Lisa. Also, after two weeks the child should be nicely settled in and Mom's daily phone call just reminds her she is not with Mommy and at home which could be...
So true Dragonlady3! The current Lib Gov (Emperor McGuinty) has taken this belief that centre based care is the only acceptable one a step further by forcing the implementation of all day...
Two hours late is unreasonable unless an emergency has occurred. Did you have phone numbers to reach them? I keep back-up numbers of family members for cases like this. I agree with the post-dated...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.

We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
