Well private daycares are "legal" businesses, so that doesn't even make sense. None of the companies I talked to said anything about whether or not I had a registered business name.

If you are a legal business, then you need commercial liability insurance, and they told me it ranged from like 700-1000 dollars. Fine if you make a ton of money, but i don't, i barely made 9 grand last year but In my honest opinion, i would pay it because i feel it's better to be safe than sorry.
My Td Meloche Monnex covers me because I always only have 6 at any given time. One of my clients is a teacher and my oldest son goes to school (he leaves on the bus at 7:50 and DCB comes at 8:15 and my son gets home at 3:55 after DCB gets picked up at 3:45) He is not here in the summer or March Break or Christmas break or PD days when my son is here. Even though I have 5 registered kids plus two of my own I always only have a max of 6 at any given time. I told them this but didn't realize they had a max because they said all was good to me!
If I ever lose Teachers son I guess I will have to shop around!
I have been meaning to write you torontokids. Sorry it has taken me so long.
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.
