If you are opening a private daycare, there is no paperwork to fill-out. You are not required to register as a business. If you want to register a name for your daycare, then you can register as a business, but I belive it is a very easy and quick process (I haven`t done it, but I my husband has a business). As for the organic food, you can definitely charge more as your expenses will be a lot higher, but again, it won`t be worth the extra cost to everyone, as the previous poster mentioned. Make sure you highlight the organic food right in your ad so that people understand why your fees are higher. As the previous poster said, searching by your postal code on this site is the easiest way to see what people are charging in your neighbourhood. You can also go to the CCPRN website and check out the current survey of rates by neighbourhood to have an idea of the general range as it takes into account people who are not advertising to fill spots (which you can`t see on this site).
