Hi Superfun!
Thank you for the note and I appreciate the feedback! Yes, my mom and I used to run a family kids entertainment business a few years ago and loved it. This allowed us to work with kids again but a smaller scale. I agree, it is very hard to find reliable individuals to work with in a close environment.

As far as your situation, I agree with 5LM, my advice is the same as hers.
When I move to a bigger home, it's something I've considered too! Let's do it I wonder how sick days work tho....if one is too sick to work is there a group of kids that can't come that day? Or do you get a sub? Or do you close completely?

My friend runs a group childcare, and she typically gets a sub for any time her or her coworker are away. But if that isn't possible, then only 5 kids are allowed to come in.
Edited to add: if we want to seriously look into it in the future, we should probably get our ece diploma. Whoever has it should use their house, so the rates are the same as a centre. However, I think we could still choose to not be funded.

How do they decide which 5?
Ugh, I don't want to go back to school lol. I have half of year one finished though lol. Due to finances at the time (I was single) I had to go back to work
Sorry to get off topic!!

I'll text you. I wanted to challenge it, there was a competency based assessment, but I needed to be licensed for 2 years first. And now they aren't taking applicants, because they might close the program.

Hey there,
We have only needed a sub a couple of times in 7 months. It helps with two people for meal prep, activities, etc.
I am actually taking my ECE to become a director right now through distance. It is challenging some days but I keep thinking it will be worth it in the long run. I would like to open a smaller centre in 2 years...

There is certainly a shortage. I'm sure you would have a lot of support if you opened a small centre.
