If you have inlaw suite which is what you renting, it same civic address as upstair part of house. Any children in the same civic address will be included in your head count. Also, be aware. The CRA make payment for parent on 20th each month. It called Universal Child Benefit I think. If two families with children live at same civic address, they payment for all children will be made to one family. If you have children of own, you need consider this.

Another question, if I want to renovate my house into a daycare centre to apply for a license, is it allowed or zoning permit only for commercial building ?
Check with local municipality. This can change from one subdivision to next let alone one area to next. Some homes have zoning which do not allow any business activity and so even an unlicensed day care would not be permitted in some areas.
Also, be careful if you not property owner. Some landlord not allow business activity from the home so that can be problem issue too.
