Hello,

I am considering opening an unlicensed home daycare (Ontario) and have been doing a lot of research online but can anyone tell me if there are any space requirements? I know you need to have a separate cot/crib for each child for nap time but are there any actual square footage requirements?
We live in a 4 bedroom ranch, no basement and I sometimes feel like our house may be too small. The kitchen/dining/living room is all open concept and that would probably be the main area for the daycare. We do have a good sized backyard with lots of toys and sandbox, etc. I guess the main thing I am wondering is if this would suffice? And if it would be okay to use one of my childrens bedrooms for nap time?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
