On the ministry website it states that "Unlicensed child care providers are not monitored by the Ministry of Education. However, regional staff will investigate complaints from the public about a person who may be providing care to more than five unrelated children without a licence." I've always been at ratio with 5 children or less. So no clue! I'm really just bothered that she asked to go through my home even after I told her it has nothing to do with my daycare space.
See now that has me a little creeped out/worried, knowing that a ministry rep can drop in on you at any time. Like all of you, i have nothing to hide, but just the fact that they can drop in on you unannounced, even though you are private/unlicensed is invasive! In a way i shouldn't worry because i believe i follow the DNA, but at the same time it's worrisome.!
