I'm saddened to hear this because I can completely relate. I went through the same thing 12 yrs ago when my children were 3 yrs and 19 mths old. It was very difficult but it taught me just how very...
Totally agree with what you said here. It's best to let them see that's life. Besides once they get to kindergarten, they'll be bringing their own lunches and snacks to school which will all be...
I personally would not put in the effort for a child under 2 yrs old unless they were clearly ready but definitely not for a child who is expected to leave the program soon. I agree that the child...
I can completely understand how you feel as well. Been there many times. I also keep the board books down low and the good books up on a high shelf. I love being able to be here for my own kids and...
I completely agree. I don't see many taking advantage of this as I don't really see it as an advantage financially speaking. So only those who can afford it would take advantage and I don't know...

If she seems to struggle with the time again I will suggest she bring him fully dressed for outdoors. Some parents don't seem to like this as they have to continually adjust their car seat straps...
I would do that but for one thing it's way too cold out lately and secondly she never comes with him ready for outdoors ie: in snowpants. So we have to take off his boots and coat to put on his...
She's always on time with payments and has always been respectful. This actually really surprised me. I suspect she's just having trouble getting out the door sooner but we're talking 10/15 minutes...
I have been doing home daycare for several years (10 or so), and I have always had "15 paid vacation days" in my contracts as well as all CDN stat and civic holidays paid. I do not get paid for any...
