So starting in September I am going to be offering before and after school care in my home which backs unto my daughters public school. I have had a huge response from the families in my neighbourhood since its a brand new school, full time JK is just rolling out next September and we're in a brand new neighbourhood, so I have a lot of questions.

I am reading up on the Day Nurseries Act and wondering about licensing. Most of the families I am getting only require me for after school, ranging from 15 mins afterschool to just about 2 hours. Do I still need to abide to a 5 kid maximum rule for non-licensed when dealing with part-time kids? I'm getting mos families that need a week here and then a week off (a lot of the families around here are shift workers) so it looks like my numbers will fluctuate a lot. One family just requires me 5 days a month but need me from after school till 9pm. I am not sure now how the ratio numbers pretain to me in regards to mostly all part-time care.

THanks, looking forward to being a active member of this community.
