Hey folks, long time since I've been here.

I've had low enrollment for the past 8 months with only 2 children over 2yrs old.

I've since started two 1 year olds and both parents have left...

Peacefulbird makes some good points. In Ontario there is a major slump right now though. I am down to 2 children since 3 left for school, 1 moved away and I was only able to get 1 additional...

I used to have an electric pressure cooker and then upgraded to an instant pot about 18 months ago. My husband loves it more than me. I find that it takes too long for the pressure to build up by...

That sounds awesome. Would there be any chance you could post a picture? I bet the kids love it ��

Hi folks, just wanted to let you know that after years of having mediocre and vague insurance for my daycare, which is generally what a daycare rider is, I now have adequate coverage. I wanted to...

Thank you so much Suzie, this was exactly what I was looking for. Would you mind if I used this in my contract or would you prefer it if I reworded it? TIA

Hi folks

I want to change my deposit in my contract. I currently have it worded as a non refundable deposit. To be applied to last two weeks of care. Child must be in care to use. If a family...

Why do you feel the need to offer them a discount? You are available to provide the care as agreed in your contract. They are choosing to take their child out of care. You are under no obligation to...

Has anyone raised their fees as a direct result of the increased minimum wage as of Jan 1st 2018?

I assume then you would be feeding the child? I would say $20-$25 an hour. It is overtime and includes another meal. I would immediately switch to an hourly rate equal to or a little more than the...

I find it quite interesting that everyone is focusing on the interactions involving the toys when your first complaint is hitting! also the fact that this child is unresponsive when called and...

This is me in a nutshell too right now. I have had many interviews and I have not compromised on my policies and I have paid attention to even minor red flags so as not to compromise myself by taking...

Interesting...I have had nothing but crazies who I have interviewed for my under 2 spot too. Total head shakers!!

I stop telling parents too when I have a problem child and they don't care. In my...

$500 annually for 5MIL liability sounds like a good deal to me. Those who pay less may very well have less coverage. A minimum of 1MIL per child in care is advisable. 1 or 2 MIL between a group of 5...

Who do you have the signed agreement with? Is it both parents or just one of them? If just one, then I would issue it to that parent. Unfortunately, this father shouldn't have submitted a claim for...

I wouldn't increase their rate. I would instead like any other policy, enforce the contracted agreement. They signed in agreeance to set hours, so they should never have dropped off early or picked...

I do not have a mandatory requirement of immunizations for children entering my home daycare. The greatest risk is to the non-immunized child If another child is carrying or has the antibodies from...
