Extra house for family child care, is that okay?

I would check with your local Early Years Department. Here, no it's not allowed. Here, a day home has to be in the provider's main residence. Any other building means getting a license and being a centre.

I'm not sure that information is correct. I know a couple in Kingston who own a house and a remodeled church. They had a random inspection and weren't cited for it, so I'm assuming it's fine as long as you stick to the CCEYA regulations. Dad runs a daycare in the home and mum runs one in the church. I also know a woman here in town who has rented an apartment for the sole purpose of a home daycare.
