I am just starting up a home daycare in Ottawa. I have a 2 year old son who will stay home with me. Does anyone know the rules around numbers and ratios and if your own children count? I know when you go through an agency they have the 2 under two, 3 under 3, 4 under 4 and 5 under 5 rule. Does this apply if you run a private home daycare? I have tried to research but keep coming up on conflicting information.
