Yup, my daycare is the primary source of income in my household as well. My hubby lost his job last year and instead of going on EI, he picked up a job at McDonalds so that we could at least have some benefits. For the most part, his paycheck pays for the medical insurance and a bit of the mortgage.

A very good friend of mine's mother was a single mother who ran a daycare, also the sole provider for the family, and she did very well for herself.
