First let me say I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. I lost my dad to leukaemia just 3 months after his diagnosis, and it was terribly stressful and painful to watch him go downhill.
As...

Here's to a very Merry Christmas & a great 2017 for all!! :thumbsup:

I agree with hockey mom, it does depend on the group. If you have some that like to explore with their mouths then I wouldn't chance it, but even so, it's still largely about supervision even with...

Personally, I ask for 2 weeks as an 'enrollment' fee upon signing the contract which is used to cover the 2 week notice period upon termination of care.
I'd say if you're having trouble with...

Snowmen using pulled apart cotton wool balls, either stuck on paper in the shape of a snowman (they can choose whether to have a two part or 3 part body etc) and pre-cut (by you) hat shapes, eyes,...

Thanks kindertime, as it stands now the outdoor times are 45 mins for the first one and 1 hour for the second. Obviously if it's extreme weather that will be adjusted to suit.
I'm pretty flexible...

Thanks Van, I think they are probably looking at other daycares, as there quite a few around my area, and I'm certainly prepared for it to take a little longer to maybe hear back because they both...

Thanks 5 Little Monkeys & Lee-Bee, as mentioned I will revise my routine to fit 2 slightly longer outdoor play times instead of 3.

I never mentioned a deadline, but I did say that I have other...

Thanks torontokids, it did seem as if this parent hadn't really focused too much on the details of my care/practices etc and was more just there to pop in and view my space.
You make a great point...

Now I'm fighting my anxiety because I feel as though I did something wrong, but today was my first ever visit/interview and it seemed very short! It only lasted about 10 minutes. It was mentioned...

Yeah, I think I'll feel better discussing it with them in person as opposed to email. A part of me was thinking the same thing, that maybe the price wasn't as important and it was more about finding...

Yeah my fee is around average for my area. It seems as though this parent might have searched through enough ads to be aware of the average price too, so hopefully it isn't a waste of time.
Thanks!

Alrighty, so I'm not sure if I should be worried or not, but I have a parent who wants to arrange a meeting to see the daycare etc, but there have been no inquiries about the daily/weekly fees for...

Do you charge late pick-up fees? If they're already mentioned in your contract, ensure you follow through with that, it might be a wake up call for the late pick ups. Also, is it in your contract...

I was thinking it might come to that, thanks for the help!

Ok, so call me silly but I'm lost....my home based business permit from the city (of Winnipeg) has a permit # on it, with 15 characters (13 numbers and 2 letters total) in the format of "## ######...

I'm pretty sure I've seen something relating to Western here in Winnipeg, but I'm not 100%. I will definitely check it out though.
Thank you so much for the help!

Superfun, may I ask which company/broker you went with?

If absolutely necessary I guess I will have to take a contents policy as well, but I was able to obtain one quote so far for just the...

So I've been searching, and phoning around all over, looking for liability insurance with no luck so far. I'm hoping someone from Winnipeg, or MB at least, can suggest a good company/broker to try. I...
