My girlfriend was visiting yesterday from another city and she has a 5 year old son. She was telling me about her sons provider and how great she is. Her husband was with us and said she always has a ton of kids there. I asked how many does she have, and they couldnt even tell me (like 9 or more). When I said no, thats not legal (she runs out of her home), they said its not like that, because her 12 yo daughter helps out sometimes. LMAO!!
I explained the 'laws' here in Ontario about not having more than 5 children per RESIDENCE, not care provider, and the laws about age limits, 1 under 1, 2 under 2 etc.
I didnt want to worry them and said oh well, whatever works for you, but as long as you know that she could be shut down at any time and fined $$ if somebody rats her out. I am still not convinced I will not report her myself....this just sounds ridiculous!!
Can somebody clarify, under what circumstances could you have more than 5 kids (not including your own). Do you need to be licensed? And this is a huge process is it not? What do you ladies think??
