Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know what the rate is for full time care in Ottawa.

Depends on what area you're in. Please tell us, and then we can help!

If you go to the CCPRN website there is a document there on rates across the city as it does vary considerably. If you are new to daycare, this is a great group to join too because it offers workshops, support groups, access to laminators, diecutters and resource books. http://www.ccprn.com

I've posted ads every where around my neighborhood, buildings, parks'community center, kijiji, craig's list, daycare bears and even in the nearby hospital. I have had a few inquiries but nothing so far. It is slow out there it seems and I hate to have to close down my home daycare after 15 years! I have found that if you don't pay to bump up you ads on kijiji and craig's list your ad quickly goes further down the pages. Looking for suggestions myself!

Sorry you are having a difficult time of it. Do you have a website? I find it's my best selling tool with lots of action pictures of the children, our crafts and activities. It pretty much presells my program before people even come for interviews. Good luck.
