In Ontario, it is pretty much impossible to get a license for a home daycare. You can join an agency such as Wee Watch, then you can accept subsidy but you must also meet fire and health regulations. You must also meet ratios according to the Day Nurseries Act, which means you can still only care for 5 children but your own children (6 and under) count in that 5 plus you can only have 2 children under 2, three children under 3 and so on. another thing to consider if you join an agency is you do not control how much you charge, the agency charges the parents a set fee but only pays you a portion of that, last time I checked I think the parents were charged almost $40 a day but the provider only received $36.50 or something like that. Hope this helps.
