    Provider way over ratio

    So, a woman I know operates a dayhome. I've always thought she seemed to have a lot of kids around but never was too certain. Today she posted on Facebook that she regularly looks after 13 kids plus her own 3. It appeared she was trying to get attention and praise for her patience, etc. I emailed her letting her know that in our province you are only allowed 6 plus your own. To which she replied, 'unlicensed dayhomes are allowed to have unlimited children'. I am not trying to be a hag but I found this a bit concerning. Thoughts? I don't want to 'rat' her out but at the same time I feel this is exactly what gives dayhome providers who ARE following the standards set before us a bad name. Guess I will see what the rest of the week brings - if her numbers seem more normal - before I do anything.

A few tips...

If you encounter a daycare provider with out-of-date openings / spaces, click on the button right above the currently listed openings to report it!

We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
