I have not read all the comments, but from what I read, I am really shocked and feel so sorry for you. This should not be happening at all! Nobody will report anything if we have this fear hanging...

That's a tricky one. While i can definitely sympathize with having sick kids sent to daycare, I feel like this rule would be a bit unfair to parents. Sometimes it is hard to know if the child is...

Rachael, by "dragged down to your level" I was referring to your overly restrictive and difficult regulations...which you yourself have said are VERY difficult to work within. And as for rallying to...

Rachael...I am sorry if you have misunderstood my point completely. I did not once say (nor do I believe) that we in Ontario are better than the rest of you!! I am not even from Ontario originally. ...

Rachael, I just have one question...how do you manage to make ends meet??? I don't think I could be a daycare provider under the conditions you described. It is a hard and important job and we all...

Crazy Eight...I think also that usually the cost of daycare is directly related to the cost of living in the area. So rent or mortgages in cities like Vancouver or Toronto are massive...so the cost...

You also have to consider cost of living when you look at the fees we are charging. I just heard on CBC the other day that Ontario and Alberta are the provinces with the highest cost of food and...

Rachel, I see what you are saying...Ontario seems to have had less restrictions than most other provinces. BUT, there is one key difference, as Playfelt mentioned...full day kindergarten starts for...

I have had the same anxiety! I just finally bought a 5 seat Runabout...but I have stressed over this decision for the past three years...LOL. It is a huge investment and I get stressed spending so...

This is a scam. Don't communicate with them anny further. They will want to pay a deposit and they will send you too much and then you will deposit the cheque and send them the difference. By the...

The problem with racial stereotypes and racism is that it is everywhere and all around you. It is on TV, in books, portrayed in toys, and comes from people in the community as well. While bullying...

If the only big issue is the eating, I would not terminate care. Just keep offering what you serve in small amounts and if she doesn't eat that is her choice, but she doesn't get anything else but...

Yes Amanda...I know exactly what you mean. People often have very good intentions...many times it is a positive comment...but they are still singling the kids out as different by remarking on these...

I can understand this dc mom in a way. My kids are biracial and when I had them in daycare I looked for a daycare with a mix of races/ethnicities. I felt it was important for them not to feel...

I think you are asking if you should let them eat the fruits and veggies before the main lunch item...I would sya yes! I would rather have them eating the fruits and veggies than probably anything...

I am like mickeyc, I have a couple of carts, strollers, ride-ons out all the time. Kids love to put things in the cart just like going shopping. I let them do it as long as they are not taking...

I had one who took 4 weeks...it is very hard when they cry all day! However, it is normal for some kids unfortunately :( I kind of get where the mom is coming from...he is not crying at home, so...

I agree fully with the other ladies who have said that you should definitely be following your daycare provider's illness policies. If your child had diahrea, they need to be home for 24 hours...

I think the average adjustment period is usually 2-4 weeks in my experience. Some are faster and some can take a bit longer. if he is part-time, it could take a couple of months though depending on...

If you have found someone who is willing to pay full fee for a before and after child who is beyond the age who counts in your numbers and you even have someone to do the school bus runs...I would...
