Advice appreciated regarding opening a dayhome in Alberta

[Mama of 3]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to have two seperating day homes in one house that had a main and basement suite?

You can only have 5 daycare children per house (or slight variations based on province/rules). You can technically have as many daycares as you want under one roof but no more than 5 kids in total within ALL the programs. Which makes it not feasible to have more than one daycare in one house.

I know of a local private school that housed 2 small home daycare programs within the school. Each run by an individual, each with 5 children. They ran great programs, with huge waitlists for some time the "higher ups" realized that the taxes were being paid from the same address...they swooped in and that day shut down one of the home daycares.

It does not matter the size of the house/building there can only be 5 children under the roof.

No, you can't do that. One day home per address. Even if you have a legal basement rental, it's counted as one property.
