Hey, thanks for this. I am also relocating. Have you had luck as private? Do parents mind that? Do they prefer agency?

Hi everyone,
I am a licensed family child care provider in BC. I am moving to the Spruce Grove-St Albert area of Alberta in February and would like to re-open a daycare. I can't find any info on...

Apparently nail and hair growth can stop as a immune system defense. Luckily they are growing back.

We had hand foot and mouth come through here in the summer. Actually it's not on the list for communicable disease when I checked with licensing. We had 2 in care with it, out of 5. They had all been...

I'm not sure I'm completely understanding what you are asking. You have part timers that alternate days, and it's an indemand space? I would let the parents know that full timers and set schedules...

I have been here before, still am. I chose to terminate in this type of situation and kind of regret it now. The child was improving towards the end of our time together and the bonds we had were...

Rofl wow....priceless!!! Some people hey!? (shakes head)

We did a mister potatoe head pumpkin. I just put holes into the pumpkin where the eyes, ears etc would go and let the kids decorate. It was great! No mess!

Wow, you have no idea what's happening with me today. That's a pretty bold comment. This isn't how we treat eachother on this forum Cocoon.
For one I said I'm in BC so visiting my centre isn't an...

Perhaps you could connect and visit a dayhome in Alberta that operates with multiple children. This way you could see for yourself how "it's done"!

These kids are with us typically 8 hours a day, with 7 kids here 3 usually go to school during the day...even if they don't there is still plenty of time to show each child one on one attention. It's...

My advise would be in regards to your approach to terminating. Make it all about the needs of the child. Maybe provide them with a different child care model to follow, something occurring in your...

I run a licensed daycare in BC and 7 children is very manageable because of the age limits. 4 under 4 yo and 3 between 4 and 12 years old. Once they hit 3 most do many tasks themselves and as long as...

Actually Cocoon, There is age restrictions you need to follow such as 3 under 3, 2 under 2 etc. Having 7 children under 3 would be insane, definitely not quality child care. I don't believe anyone...

So the dcb I terminated a few weeks back and maybe has one week left here, shows up today and dad says he is in underwear. My jaw hits the floor! This little guys has been potty training...

I have a dcb just like this exactly actually. Why is it some toddlers go through this and some don't!? I'd like to ask if anyone has been through it and successfully come out on the other side? I...

I have a 2.5 year old that "doesn't need a nap" says the parents and they question if he has slept if he comes home with "too much energy", he also the one wirh behavior issues. I require all the...

I ended up emailing her asking her what he plan will be with the month. Surprisingly she has been very mature and respectful in return.
My next question is, how do u tell the other parents in care?...

I should have used "quotes" that's in regards to playfelts response.

for this age might be part of the problem. Two year olds can be among the most annoying obnoxious creatures when they set their little minds to it, lol.
Bahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! ROFL I have 3! You...
