Looking for Peanut-Free daycare in Ottawa

[Suzie_Homemaker]

This forum isn't really for ads seeking care. It's more used by provider's to exchange information. If you come off the forum to the main section of this website, you can search by postal code for day homes in your area with spaces. You will have to contact them to see if they can offer peanut free care.

As a provider who has done this in the past, I would say it's not going to be easy. Because you are going into someone's home for care, you are effectively asking them to eliminate peanuts from their family diet as well as their day home because it's often the same food prep area. Vs a center, where any food coming in is specifically for the business and there's not a family living in the same space and storing prepping their household meals.

For me, when I had a child with peanut allergies I will say the challenge wasn't just the restriction to my family's food but also that other parents don't understand the seriousness. It wasn't uncommon despite the allergy being known, that someone would arrive having eaten PB on toast on the way in the car and the parent thought a quick brush down for crumbs was enough.
