Families in my area are typically unable to afford holding fees. While some want 1-3 days/week during may leave, most keep their older child home. I include the family in daycare events (like a bbq...

I have let a sick toddler finish the day because I knew she’d be in her contained playpen for nap, then straight outside (I disinfected during nap). So that part I understand.
I would put out a...

I have one child that is picked up 15 min after I officially close. This is in their contract, and doesn’t cost extra (they drop off later and other perks). They have also been much later on...

Did you find any improvement yet? I have found leaving at the same time highly effective for my often late last to go. I can’t charge a late fee, because I extended my hours just for them knowing...

Looks like this was bumped by spam. But to add my 2 cents, I love cloth diapers in my daycare! Parents send pre-stuffed pocket diapers or all-in-ones, so they go on very quickly just like a...

They are voluntary in my province as well. I try to figure out the reasoning (without sounding like it matters). If it's for allergies or medical reasons (preemies, organ issues) then I accept them...

I do M-F half days, because I also take after school children that come at 2pm (strange school hours here). So this way I still have my spots filled, but the am children I have here have a stay at...

Thanks! It was already lunch time, so after eating I popped her in her play pen, got the other kids to their cots, then bagged up every toy that was out this am, and sprayed down all the...

I'm not sure what to do here. Same family, 3rd time a child has come with pink eye (over 6 months, so it's not continuous). Either it's not obvious til midday (when I realise I have cleaned their eye...
-
I would send them a written message (text or email) that they have not been following the contract they signed. For that reason, you will require payment for the day's outstanding (that they had...

This! Any new skill needs practice. Nobody ties down a baby til they can walk, or tapes their mouth shut til they can talk. I start the toileting process once they can walk (talk about it, change...

I just took on a 2.5yo that doesn't nap, and I have 2 4yo's that also don't nap. The 2.5yo is a little sib of the 4yo I've had for a while (2.5yo was on my waitlist), and he wasn't napping at the...

I had to switch insurance companies in order to get coverage for daycare (because of my pool). The actual charge is $40 per child per year, but I'm paying $200 more per month compared to my old...

In Nova Scotia there is no overlap permitted, no grace period for the 2 under 18 months rule, or for the 3 under 3 rule. But for school age that counts from the first day of summer the year they will...

Thank you ladies. She's been gone for a week, and it's like a weight was lifted. I think I actually dreaded her coming. I have a new child starting tomorrow (sibling of a child I have, and I've seen...

It's never too late-parents look for care year round-starting a new job, ending may leave, etc. I deal with the long hours by my day's structure. I didn't like part time, because I was working...
-
I don't allow any play fighting (even between toy figures), inside or out. It's not realistic-in real life, people get very hurt from fighting. Even police try to talk it out first, and only...

I had one that was a no show after a rather lengthy facebook conversation (she had lots of questions). I've had one fill out all the paperwork, I held the spot for 2 weeks, but the day their money...

Yes, it is illegal to use an expired car seat in Ontario (and most places). I know a few years ago it was still legal to use them in Newfoundland (though not recommended). There are some budget...

I'm in a different province, but I've seen a huge upswing in parents wanting regulated (here they are called 'approved family home daycares') care. None of my families use subsidy, but they all...
