Attention to Detail in Making, Maintaining and Solid Child Care Arrangements

The initial placement process is thorough and attentive to detail; we focus on making the best possible match with a caregiver and on making a child care arrangement that will meet the needs of your child and family.

Well trained Home Child Care Advisors – all of whom have a background in early childhood education - monitor the quality of care through unscheduled visits and regular safety checks of each home day care, promoting a high standard of safety, nutrition and stimulating programming for the children in care. A Home Visitor is assigned to each client family and caregiver; the home visitor monitors the progress of each client child in care, and acts as a resource to support the child care partnership of parent and caregiver.

All home child care providers affiliated with our agency must adhere to the requirements of the Child Care and Early Years Act, the provincial legislation upon which our agency’s license is based.

In licensed home child care, no more than six children are allowed at any one time in the caregiver’s home, including the caregiver’s own children under the age of four. The legislation stipulates additional restrictions related to the ages of children in care - for example, no more than three children under the age of two.
