And of those kids, only 2 can be under 2 if you are licensed. And yes, the B/A school kids count.

    This is only for licenced care in AB. If you're not with an agency you can have 6 kids (not including your own) of any age.

    I feel very confused by this... I wish there was a clear cut standard!!! When I did all my research, what I posted above was what I determined. I called a local family services agency, and was told the same.
    I just looked up some more on the web, and found COMPLETELY conflicting info. Some places said that all kids under 10 count, some said all under 12. (This is important to me, as I have my oldest turning 10 soon, just in time for me to have a new baby!!!) Some places said that my own kids DO count in ratio, and some said they DON'T. Some said age is an issue, some said it isn't. Arrrggghhhhh!
    Now it's bothering me, because I want to do things "properly", but can't find a straight answer.
    I guess I call a few more local sources?? Any idea how else I can determine this?
    I am a private, unlicensed provider; who has been in operation officially for over a year now. This feels like something I should NOT have any confusion over!!

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.
