Thanks Peacefulbird. I guess the thing that worries me the most is that I’m terminating a family that is expecting a baby in a few months & is going to be scrambling to find other arrangements. Personally, I feel that a nanny or grandma would be best since mom wants personalized care for DCG.
It could be only few months they got to arrange new care but, I'm sure they will find someone. It could also be a centre based at least you help them out for six months centres have open spots 18 months and up (younger ages is hard).
If you're in Ontario (and I'm sure other provinces also have), search the "communicable diseases in schools and daycares",
Although I always say I have a very easy point form contract, I make sure during my interviews to let parents know that I follow the province school and daycares protocols in regards of communicable diseases. I have facilitated the website so they can read any time and slso printed a copy for each one so they can guide themselves. This is followed by schools, that backs me up (so it doesnt feel, only me imposing general health practices)
That basically helped me to support my daycare. I have structured the basic bases of my daycare and created tools for parents to guide them selves and or protocols to follow. And When their children go to school they're already familiar with it.
Many think that a "homedaycare", it is like a grandmother house but they forget to realize that we care for more children and families and despite running in a home we need to follow regulations, nutritional, safety and health practices.
