Having trouble going to sleep at night is often a sign of an overtired child. I often remind parents that sleep begets sleep. I would try increasing the nap time for a few weeks to see what happens....
-
I had the exact same issue. The parents had warned me the 1 year old didn't nap but I scoffed because I always had been able to get the kids to sleep well. The child was used to being breastfed to...

Of course you should claim it! A slippery driveway is a liability to your daycare business. A daycare is a business and snow removal is a normal business expense. I think we tend to short-change...

Hi ladies, I have a dcb that started recently that will be celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah at home. I would like to include some easy Hanukkah activities, stories, etc. in our seasonal...

I'm with Cooperators in ontario. We were told that all daycare kids are covered (we also have 3 kids of our own).

With all small toys, I base my decision on my current group of kids. Some kids are fine with small toys way before 3. However, if I have a child that likes to mouth things, I keep the smaller toys...

I agree; its not that she's not sleeping that bothers me, I would be happy if she just quietly played with her bunny and baby; it's that she screams, jumps noisily in the playpen, sings at the top of...

Well, I don't really get a "2 hour "break". I use the hour and a half to clean-up, prep activities and menu plans, and maybe do a load of laundry, if I'm lucky. I feel that we, as providers, have no...

My policy stipulates that children with coughs and colds may attend provided that there is no fever, nasal secretions are clear, coughs are not persistent and they can participate cheerfully in...

I've found it pretty slow in my area as well. It's over-saturated with home daycares. You could try good-old fashioned community mailbox posting. I've found local clients a few times that way. Hint:...

Sorry, should have clarified: I tried the occasional soothing many months ago when the CIO wasn't working. Since then, I just ignore her, though it stresses me out to do so. We always have the same...

Hi ladies, I'm hoping one of you out there can give me some words of wisdom. I have a dcg that just turned 2. I've had her in my care since she was about 15 months. Her mother warned me she wasn't a...

I had a 15 month dcg start with me several years ago with similar issues. While it did get slightly better with lots of work, she still remains quick to anger and prone to violent, extended tantrums...
-
Only problem with that: she doesn't sleep at home either
-
How did this work out for you? I'm dealing with the same issue now with 15 month old dcg. We've been working on naps for 4 weeks now --- only sleeps through one cycle and then is up screaming. She...

Yeah, my husband thinks I'm being draconian, but I figure my closing time has always been the same and they should have found a different provider if 5:30 was going to be difficult for them.

Hello! Just wondering how everyone handles pick-ups when winter weather is a factor? I have 2 families that frequently come at the very last minute before close (occasionally late "because of...

I have an extremely head-strong 3 year old dcg. The weather has been chilly in Ontario the last few days and she shows up everyday with short-sleeves and a light zip sweater she refuses to wear. The...

This is unfair to you, unfair to the other daycare children and very unfair to the child, who probably just wants to recouperate in the quiet and comfort of his home. My contract states that if a...

I am insured through cooperators group. No limit on number of kids. I also added a rider to my car policy that only cost $40 extra per year and allows me to transport the daycare children.
