Regulations
One question that is asked often is "How many
children may I provide for in my home?".
Lee Dunster explains the regulations very well in her book "Family
Day Care: A Caregiver's Guide" -pg.35
"The number of children that you may care
for is determined by the Province of Ontario’s Day Nurseries
Act and by local by-laws. Under the Day Nurseries Act, you may
provide care to five children ten years of age and under per household,
no matter how many adults are involved in providing the care.
This does not prevent you from providing care for more than five
day care children if some of them are part-time. However, no more
than five day care children may be on the premises or in your
care at the same time. Once a child reaches his/her eleventh birthday,
he/she is no longer included in the total of five day care children.
Your children, regardless of their age, are not counted in the
total of five children if you are working privately. However,
if you are working with a private home day care agency, your own
children under the age of six may be counted in the total of children.
Also, when working with a day care agency, there should be no
more than two children under the age of two years and no more
than three children under the age of three in your care at any
time."
