Start Up Questions

[Fun&care]

The thing is though that bill 10 could really throw a wrench in all this. Keep in mind- you are only allowed 2 under 2 at any one time. The only way to get older kids is if you get a mom coming off mat leave with two siblings but honestly they are hard to come by. The vast majority of inquiries in my area, but I believe in most, is for care for 12 month olds. So you may fill two spots relatively easily but you could potentially wait a whole entire year before being able to fill two more because you have to wait for the young ones to turn 2. And this isn't just at start up. Anytime you have an older child leave (for mat leave, or because parents are moving, decided to put child in preschool or a spot opened up in the daycare center down the road...these things happen quite a bit in this industry) you are left waiting for the younger ones to age which could take several months up to a year, depending.

It is totally a personal decision but honestly, if it were me, if I was a single mom and had a decent paying, reliable job I would just stick to that. I feel like daycare is risky for someone in your situation but maybe that's just me.
