Thinking of opening a home daycare in Brantford – What do you think?

Hey everyone! I’m considering opening a home daycare in Brantford for children aged 2 to 4 years old, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. If you’re a parent or know someone looking for this type of service, could you help me by answering a few questions?

(You don’t have to answer everything—just whatever you find relevant!)

  • Do you feel there are limited daycare options for this age group in the area?
  • What is the biggest challenge when looking for a daycare (waitlists, pricing, location, hours of operation)?
  • What do you value most in a daycare (meals, safety, educational activities, outdoor space, flexible hours)?
  • Do you prefer a more structured environment or a warm, home-like setting? • What would be a fair price for a home daycare?
  • Would you prefer a fixed monthly fee or payment based on days/hours?
  • How would you like to receive updates about your child’s day (daily reports, photos, videos, calls)?
  • For those already using daycare, is there anything you wish was different about your current experience?
  • What do you think about a ratio of 5 children per 1 caregiver (5:1) versus 3 children per 1 caregiver (3:1) with a higher fee?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I want to understand the community’s needs before moving forward with this project. Thank you!

Adult autism assessment recommendations

Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for obtaining an adult assessment for ASD. I have googled, I know the first step would be to make a referral request with my doctor. But does anyone have any experience with someone in particular? My current psychiatrist has gone on leave until May. I haven’t seen them since October. I can’t wait that long. Thank you, and please no judgement.

Brantford vs Woodstock

Hello everyone!

I'm looking to buy a single detached house in either Brantford or Woodstock with a budget of around $650K. From what I’ve seen, Brantford seems a bit more expensive, and there aren’t many listings in this price range. For those familiar with both cities, what are the key differences in terms of lifestyle, amenities and road traffic? Which one would be a better place to settle down in the long run?

Crunch, YMCA or Other?

Hi there!

I’m looking for some advice and feedback on Crunch Fitness, the YMCA, or any other gym options in town to help me get back into working out. I’m 6 months postpartum and really want to start going to the gym again, but I’m a bit nervous about the prices and overall atmosphere.

I’ve seen some reviews about Crunch mentioning unauthorized charges, which is concerning because I really can’t afford unexpected expenses right now.

I’d love to hear about your experiences—whether with these gyms or others—and which one you’d recommend for a welcoming environment and good value.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Water Softner

Hi all looking to see how much everyone else paid to get their water Softner installed, and the size of their unit. I got a quote and just want to compare.

For a 45000 grain unit it's going to cost about $1,800+tax. They have to do a bit of extra work but nothing crazy
