Running home daycare away from home

[Lee-Bee]

One thing I will add just on the off chance it applies. You need to be the ONLY home daycare running under that roof.

I knew of a private school that had rented out space in their building to 2 home daycares. Each had 5 kids, different floors of the building, run completely separate of each other. One day the inspectors showed up, called all the parents and shut them down then and there. One was allowed to continue but you CANNOT have 2 home daycares under one roof.

Just be mindful of what else is running in the building.

oh yes good point!!
I actually used to work for a private school who also had an unlicensed daycare. We had to make sure that the daycare group was completely separate from the kids ages 4+ at all times. And had to keep the same 5 kid minimum, of course. They take that very seriously!!

I have the community hall to myself, luckily. I was told by the MOE that if I wanted to add more kids to my program on certain days, the one way that is allowed, is to have a playgroup that includes parents. So that the kids can participate in our activities (with their parents), but aren't in my sole care.
