Hello everyone!

I am starting a new home daycare in Calgary Alberta, Canada:
http://www.creativeplay.ca/

Alberta uses the term "dayhome" for home childcare for 6 children or
less, but we don't feel that is very appropriate for a "home daycare".
I think that "family daycare" is a much better term, and more clearly
expresses the "daycare in home environment" atmosphere that we should be
encouraging.

How do others feel about this?

Hi Eva and welcome to the group. Family daycare is a much better term that
dayhome. I think that dayhome sounds so....uugh!! and is on a par with
Leslies favourite "babysitting".

I feel that is why I am NOT a babystitter. We are professional.
And we need that distinction

Those of us in the profession know that, we just have to convince the rest
of "them" that we don't spend our day's playing, having it easy and not
doing much.

Hello,
I live in UK and we use the term childminder which most of us don't really
like, because most people think childminders are not qualified childcarers
and are not appreciated; but most of us are qualified. However, family
daycare sounds fantastic.

Welcome Eva,
I'm Jan and I'm from Stony Plain, AB just west of Edmonton. I like the
term Family Daycare. I use Dayhome, b/c like you said that's what
people in Alberta refer it to.
