I am in London Ont. and am a married Mom of a 14 heard old son and a nineteen year old daughter. I am thinking of having a home based Day Care and have saved for this. I need everything. Can you experienced providers tell me what to invest in and what not to waste my money on. I am planning on getting my first aid, CPR, Police check and extra home ins. I own a townhouse so I do have a smaller backyard but have near by parks, a library amd a community centre. I am planning on having 3 full time or part time equivalent. I will need some sort of stroller for outings. I plan on a contract, providing breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks as well as daily schedule of activities and a website. Is 30.00 a day for full time too low to start? Should I plan on one playpen high chair and a few nap mats. I have a lot of room in my basement rec room, as well as another Seperate but attached empty bedroom and a bathroom on that level. I'm awake at 5 a.m everyday and am not sure what hours to start at but would like pick ups by 4:30p.m. And only 9hours per child. Why out of all my craziness sounds practical? Sorry for all the questions. I appreciate any advice. Thanks
