I think I want to only fill full time spots! and no school agers!

Hmmm, well all the children need supervision all the time but I agree that I don't like school aged children because they seem to get huge attitudes when they start school. Sad but true! However, when I have room I have my grandson with us on PD days and I don't let him get away with any attitude. It might be a different story with another child.

I have been a daycare provider for over 30 years. I cannot tell you how many school kids I have had and to several different schools. I have my mini van that I haul kids around in. I graduated 3 kids off to JK and GR1 this past fall, so I had to find more kids. I had to go back to babies and start over again. You do what you have to do. It is the part timers that kill me...1 - 3 days a week. It is nice when you only have 3 on the off days..but the lack of money is a problem. It was easier with pre-schoolers but babies are killing my back, shoulder, knees, getting them in and out of the van in those rear facing seats! Oh well, retirement is just over 20 months away!!
