I know it different province but play dates count here too even if other adult if they are in a dayhome. We can have play date with other providers in public place just like children meeting new friend who is there with own parent. The second a child step into the house, they are counted. We also have this if sibling with mom at pick up/drop off. We have to explain that they count, that this our livelihood and we must not risk being closed down and so sibling must stay in car or parent and child remain on doorstep for us to get coat and shoe on child who here.
