I am not familiar with the rules in Alberta .... in Ontario you would have to register your 'business' name if you are calling your business anything other than your full legal name when you advertize -which most of us do not want to do!

As for the watching someone have 13 kids go into a house -what are the ratios for Alberta - do they allow private home daycares to have more than one adult and therefore more children? In Ontario we are only allowed FIVE regardless of how many adults in a 'home setting' so that would be a definitely NO NO ... I myself have called on 'warehousers' as they are called here and reported to the Ministry in charge of regulations around childcare however these people often do 'flex care' which means somedays they ARE in ratio and somedays everyone wants care so they are WAY over and it seems to be t hat whenever the Ministry comes to 'inspect' it is a low day and they just get a 'warning' cause they are not directly CAUGHT ... Murphy's Law!

My new cellphone takes both photo and video now and I tell ya I am tempted to snap a photo of the one lady out for a walk with her as many as 9 tiny two year olds not to mention a video of the ladies at the park on March Break with 17 children in tow and they were smoking and cursing in front of the children - seriously unprofessional

Again hopefully someone from your area can weigh in on pricing ... it is normal here with school age care to have a fee for am care only, a fee for Pm care only, a fee for both and than additional full day rates apply to any Pd, March break and summer care.
