Opening a private day home in Alberta

[Lyn]

Good day,

As some of you may or may not have heard, another child has passed in the care of someone running a private day home. They found listeria in the food that she was served, among other health violations, after the home was inspected.
These incidents are a huge concern for both parents and caregivers, alike.

Everyone chooses between going through a day home agency and going private, for many different reasons. There are no laws saying that running a private day home, is illegal. And, even though the number of private day homes available, is on the rise, there is still a large demand for quality childcare, as the amount of families working, far out weighs the amount of childcare available.

I am a mother of an adult and a teen. I have been in the childcare field for over 25 years and have been running a private day home for well over a decade. I have spent countless hours, over the years, compiling resources and information on childcare and the reason for this post is to offer personal support to day home providers and parents.

I am a childcare consultant and I'm here to offer my support to those that may need or want it. I am not just a consultant but, a friend and a real person to reach out to.

Please contact me for further information, thoughts, ideas and concerns. I look forward to working closely with you to help overcome any obstacles, worries, or road blocks, you may have.

Thank you and enjoy your day!
