Dawn are you meaning you are going to open a daycare centre in a separate building or are you meaning a daycare in your home just offering what you believe to be a different style of program than some other "day homes" offer. I ask because the two ideas are very different and come under different regulations. In your home regardless of what kind of program you have or how many staff you have you can still only have a small number of children. If you are looking to open a daycare centre in a building with many staff and many children then first you will need to find a suitable building, make sure it is zoned for a daycare through the bylaw office and then start to make it meet daycare regulations such as number and size of toilets, amount of space, kitchen has to meet certain health standards, etc. None of that applies to a home even if the "teacher" in the home is super qualified it is a different system of childcare.
