Report a Daycare Home?

[Judy Trickett]

You're in Ontario. Yes, that provider is not operating legally. She is allowed FIVE children PLUS her own PER PRIMARY RESIDENCE. The number of caregivers does NOT matter. I don't care if you have 10 adults - you can only have FIVE Kids in care.

I would report her. I have in the past.

The reason I would report her is that when you see these news stories of atrocities in HOME daycare they are ALWAYS with these warehousers who have FAR too many kids in care. It is rarely, if ever, the providers operating legally. But, the media doesn't spin it that way - they just say HOME daycare is bad etc etc. And well, that makes ME look bad and hurts MY home daycare business.

Report her. I would - in a heartbeat.

Shame on your girlfriend for not having more of a vested interest in the very place she leaves her child every day.
