Insurance in Ontario (Toronto to be specific)

Is anything other then home insurance mandatory for in home daycares? Im starting up in July and didnt even think about this?

I JUST went through this. Its a pain. I have 1 baby of my own so after the new law comes into effect in January I will be able to have 4 day care kids. Currently I can have 5 day care kids by law.
My insurance only covers a maximum of 5 kids including my own. So 4 day care kids. I also asked why my own kids would be taken into account because I would not sue myself for costs of an injury. They said it didn't matter.
I'm in northern Ontario so our choices are limited unfortunately!

It would depend on where you live. Some areas you need to be inspected, some areas you need to be licensed. Others you need nothing.

thanks for the above comment. Who are oyu guys with though? Everyone I called says my kids are included so if you could give me the nme of the insurance company then I will call them

When I get home from my 2nd job tonight I'll PM you may State Farm agents number. She is in Milton but it doesn't really matter where the agent is.

From my understanding, all daycares in Ontario have to be insured as of sept 1, 2015.
Personally, I think that it is stupid, reckless and entirely unprofessional. Everyone feel free to sh@t on me, but that's he way that I feel
Unfortunately, with today's perception of home based daycare , I believe that we need to do everything in our power to not only seem, but be professional.
And just like any other business we need/ should have insurance.

Just wondering what the hell happened to warrant that explosion? We are all talking about how to get insurance in this thread, not how to avoid it!

pardon???? what explosion? someone mentioned that some places don't need insurance, and i personally know alot of providers that feel they don't or shouldn't have it. I was not directing my comment at anyone, nor felt I was attacking anyone, in fact just the opposite.
