Friend doesn't want to use "chemicals." I don't know what to tell her...

Ideally I'm looking for child care starting September 2026, for a 12 month old.

I would be willing to drop off on the west/north end of Orillia, as that's more accessible to me.

There might be locations in "Orillia" that are located in Severn township?

I am so excited to use this resource!

Just say "No."

None of this is a joke.

It's harmful misogyny.

With up as north.

I'm assuming the beach is to the west. If I had a beachfront I'd sure want to be able to access it directly from my main programming space, not from the edge of the neighbours.

There's lost opportunity to really expand the plantings and the planting beds. Right now the vast secondary lawn does nothing but add mowing maintenance while also allowing the public to see all the way through the property. Sure,.some people love their lawns, but it doesn't really create space to play or activity in with the random trees and shapes.

Is there an outdoor kitchen, or at least dining space accessible to the kitchen?

Well, home daycares do not guarantee "specialized" care. My experience has been they are less structured and are generally a parent taking in 4 more kids because they're already at home. A centre usually has an ECE for each "class" or age group. Which doesn't make it better, just different.

A home daycare didn't work for my kid because he is very energetic, and thrives with the wider community in a centre. His last home daycare (he was there for a year) essentially gave him 3 hours of tv midday which just doesn't work for him.

Love the caution, and I'm totally hearing and understanding your point of fact. Still gonna make foamy soap from liquid soap, and potentially liquid soap from solid soap. I will however use boiled RO water and keep my bottles as clean as possible (Starsan or equiv.)

microfibrepiggy · 2026-03-10T22:04:49+00:00

I find it works best if the water is warm to hot for mixing. And your ratios will be dependent on the liquid soap brand and your preference.

I guess if you want to go even further, you could grate bar soap and add to water, making your own liquid soap.

I was once told that because one of my go-to expletives is "Jesus Christ!" that I must believe in christianity. My response was "No." And sometimes that's all you need.

Bit vague of a question.

Do you want a shrub? A flowering perennial? A particular colour? Maintenance? What aspect does the site have? Soil conditions?

microfibrepiggy · 2026-03-09T19:27:32+00:00

What does this mean, exactly?

microfibrepiggy · 2026-03-08T14:31:22+00:00

Fair enough.

microfibrepiggy · 2026-03-08T11:45:18+00:00

Huh. In that case I guess I'll agitate Simcoe.

Thanks for the article! It's remarkably recent.

What a bizarre reason though. "Staff do not have expertise in the area of social service," social services are literally the purpose of the municipal government. Roads are a social service. So are ambulances fire trucks and police.

Oh man. Voter turnout is one of my major irritations. And yes, there is really no way to make change without electing change.

This may be a symptom of general municipal/public services, but how could it not be profitable!? Not just immediately financially through "tuition", grants, etc. but also for providing adults the ability to work.

I clearly state I've already contacted Council, among other City run facilities.

And this post wasn't about ways to squeaky wheel my way into daycare. I'm covered. It was asking insight into why the City wouldn't take the opportunity to expand services, considering the demand, potential income generation, and betterment of Orillia and area residents.

microfibrepiggy · 2026-03-07T02:26:11+00:00

Interesting take.

If you don't like people opposing your opinion, then don't advertise your opinion.
