Oh hopefully someone from Alberta can help weigh in than cause your rules are very different than ours with the array of licensing options in the home based environment ~ here in Ontario they basically do not license 'homes' only large centre type programs so in Ontario you would partner with a licensed 'agency' when you work form home so your home is not licensed but the 'agency' is ~ they subcontract your services and it is then their responsibility to make sure your home meets the regulations ... but that process still does not allow you more children in fact it limits which is why most of choose to be 'private' cause there is more benefits to us that way.
