Home daycare with 12 kids

[5 Little Monkeys]

I understand what you mean Mickyc. It doesn't make sense to me either how the provinces have such different rules.

Amanda....I know of one dcp who was reported in a small town years ago. She reopened the next day with the legal number of kids. She took a few years off from hdc and worked in a centre but is doing hdc again. A friend of mine who lives in the same town as her has said she has heard she's over the number again...like 8-10 children! She is a well loved dcp though and all the parents are apparently "okay" with it. I hope for everyone's sake that nothing terrible happens!

Superfun....We are from the same city and I sorta agree with you on how the parents don't care if we go over the numbers. However, almost every family I have interviewed do ask how many I can have. Once they get to know me though they all say that they wish the numbers would be legally raised as well as they can see that I am quite capable of looking after more than 4. (as are many others, which is why I hope they raise the numbers for us....I know, I know, not gonna happen lol) It would certainly help out the shortage of dc spots and would help us out financially!

Wouldn't that be great if they allowed private daycares to have 5 children? It makes me wonder if the ones that are already taking 5 would still add an extra child though?
