    I just googled and we had one in Canada in Oct. last year. I knew there was one but couldn't remember when it occured. Yay for the family who bought you a nice gift Mimi! I get little gifts at Christmas and one family brought me homemade cookies on my birthday this year but I'm not lucky enough to get more than that usually. I do miss the Mom who used to bring me a Timmie's tea every morning!

    I have a family who brings me Timmies and Timbits at least once a week. And they have NO idea how much I appreciate that. They have just the most beautiful and loving daughter that I care for on a full-time basis.
    My cousin, who just put her son in a home daycare, asked me what she should do for her provider and I told her to show her that you appreciate her by being flexible, understanding and supportive, but most of all and above else.........BRING THAT LADY A COFFEE........at least once a week LOL

    There is some sort of caregiver appreciation day we used to celebrate in June in relation to our caregiver dinner - wonder if that is the one that is now in Oct or if there is something else in june still. I used to put up a poster to "celebrate" near the door so all parents could see and of course they would read it while I was gathering their child and bringing them to the door - whatever it takes to get kudos from the ones who won't do it without a prompt.

    Oh yeah, that same Mom would occassionally bring me a green tea. It is these small kind gestures which I much prefer over having a "daycare providers day" where my clients feel they have to give something. Random acts of kindness mean sooo much.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
