Welcome to the forum. What part of Ontario are you in? I am in Ottawa. One concern to look into is the location of the daycare. If the house is not your residence I am not sure if legally you can provide care from there. In the sense that your mom is the one opening her home for daycare and entitled to the expenses to be claimed such as utilities, etc. Then she is hiring you as the teacher. Is your mom's house in the same area as where you plan to buy a house? If not it will be like starting all over again to find kids, get your name established. Our childcare association has some good info on starting up a daycare and things to consider. Look at the following websitehttp://ccprn.com
