Sadly, yes. In my case it's called parenting. Not sure what I was thinking

Lol, no, you were perfectly clear. I just couldn't resist I'm not sure how they do it. I normally can't stand other people's children. I personally think my son's caretaker is worth every penny she gets.

Non-profit means government run or parent board directed centre. All the fees go to running the building, and paying staff wages, anything extra goes into the program for the children's Benefit. A profit centre is privately owned and usually the staff working there have minimal qualifications and are paid less. After the staff and building fees are covered anything extra goes into the owners pocket.

Accreditation is a government process were people come into the centre for a few days and monitor everything that's being done in the centre. Afterwards based on what they see and find they will either pass you or not. If you pass you get a plaque to hang on the wall.

I think you guys run it different there than here in sask. given we have centres but not go. Run just gov monitored. My wife runs a gov monitored in home care home we are regulated as to the amount and ages of the kids per caregiver including our kids. She is allowed 8 kids only two under two (the twins cover thAt) total of five preschoolers and rest school age. If we go over or don't follow the gov rules and guidelines as well as yearly training and schooling they can shut us down. There are private daycares not licenced with the gov. But with being licenced you get grants every year for toy upgrade and food grants.

Although I suppose we would be considered a profit daycare. I wish there was we kinda break even every month. Lol but I do strongly advise to seek out gov licenced
