When I signed on with my current daycare families, I told them that I would only be providing care until a certain date (over 1 year from when their children started) at which point I'd be returning...

I do not charge for days that I do not provide care due to family/own illness or appointments for self/family. If I provide care for just part of a day, then have an appointment in the morning or...

Cfred: do you tweak the lunchtime or afternoon nap time, or just go through a (hopefully small) period of time in which they're tired in the morning, then they just have a longer afternoon nap?

HELP!
Tomorrow I am starting an 11-month-old who still has morning naps and with some prior sleep training by parents will hopefully go down well for morning nap with a short routine. Also have 1YO...

I have just terminated a longer-term child and have a newer family (all is well) as well. I am pretty sure that the remaining family should know that there will be changes and I would like to tell...

I have recently had to terminate for aggressive behaviour. The parents have asked for 2 weeks to find a new daycare, which I am fine doing. It seems to me that I would leave the spot open until...

Hi,
I have a spot to fill and am trying to figure out what to advertise for. I currently have a 1-year-old, 3-year-old, and 1/2-day 6-year-old who will be just before- and after-school starting in...

Hi,

I'm just about to tackle my taxes after my first year of home daycare.
The most daunting part to me, is what to do about my food expenses? (and I'd love to not have to record each day the...

I'm putting together tax receipts and where I write "for the period of ___ to ___" I am wondering what I should write if:

a) my last date of care provided for the year is Dec. 21, but
b) I charge...

I am wondering how payments should work around Christmas Holidays.

My policies state that on stat holidays I am not open but do require payment. These days include Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and...

Momof4, what forms of discipline have you tried / would you recommend in this case? Thanks!

Has been at another daycare and parents chose to move him (other reasons as well). I have spoken with parents and they see some of it at home and are running out of strategies that work, so we're...

I have a 3.5-year-old DCK who hits more than once a day. Just starting out with him, so want to get it under control now. I think the causes vary somewhat. Sometimes it's because of frustration of...

Awesome feedback - thank you ladies!

I noticed a 'funny' pencil grasp today with a DCK and was starting to look online for typical development of grasps and stumbled across an awesome website http://www.ot-mom-learning-activities.com/...

I have a 2-month window to start/transition a new 1-year-old (will be 1 at the end of the 2-month introduction period).

What works best for you in terms of increasing how many days a week, full...

What do you like best and find the most challenging about 12-18-month-olds? I currently have 2.5-5.5-year-olds and am considering what it would be like to add younger children to the mix.

Hi,
Before I scour pinterest this evening, what are your favourite Halloween Activities/Crafts? (I have 2- through 5-year-olds)
TIA!

Momof4, with your few days a week during transition, do you do them all in a row or space them out through the week?

During transition, then, I imagine you charge the daily rate for the days...

You might possibly be able to get away with using your BN, but I have learned that this is unacceptable to CRA for receipts issued to parents (I've spent quite a bit of time talking with CRA on this...
