    In Ontario you can only have 5 children in your care at anyone time, but can have many kids registered to your daycare. So yes you can have 8 or more kids signed up for care (part time) as long as you don't have more then 5 kids in your care even for a minute or two.

    If you have children of your own 6yr + they never count in your numbers
    If you have children of your own 5yrs and under they count in your numbers

    I am so confused by the new daycare act. I have a 7 year old, a 9 year old and a 2 year old. Can I have an additional 4 children because my 7 year old and 9 year old don't count?

    yes, your only child that counts is your 2 yr old.

    your 2 yr old + 4 daycare children = 5 kids in total.
