Registering my daycare advice and tips

[zen39]

In Ontario, you are not required to register your home daycare business if you're using your own name. However, if you have chosen a different name for the daycare then by law you are suppose to register it.

For example if you register your home daycare business under your name, Jane Smith, then you do not need to register. However, if you call it "Janes little munchkins" then you are suppose to register it.

Home daycares do not charge taxes.

Because I use my own name for the daycare, I am not registered. I issue year end receipts to all parents. Include your name, address, SIN number, name of child (address) and dates cared for and your signature.
