    Looking for advice on opening a home daycare

    Ottawa area:

    So I’m considering opening an unlicensed home daycare

    I’m not an ECE, but have years of experience nannying (both full and part time), have supplied in a licensed Ontario daycare, have most of a teaching degree, am bilingual.

    I left the childcare field about five years ago (having considered becoming an ECE because I was concerned about being able to financially support myself).

    Is that enough experience to make this work on a business level? Do I 100% need an ECE in order to attract clients? I qualify for the accelerated/condensed program but that involves needing care for my own child and the money isn’t there.

    I have one child of my own at home (a toddler). We are also renters, so concerns on affording a big enough rental in Ottawa to actually run a home daycare?

    Thoughts? Any advice you wish you’d have been given starting out??

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
