What Does Licensed Home Childcare Mean?
Weighing childcare options can be overwhelming. But you’ve done your research and decided that home-based child care is the best choice for you because… • A home environment makes an easier transition into daycare. • It’s a more personal relationship with a Provider. • Low number of children in care. • More flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Even better, you want licensed home childcare, because there is a difference. What you should know… With home-based childcare, there are licensed Agencies and private caregivers. Licensed means strict standards set by the Ministry of Education’s Child Care & Early Years Act are followed by an agency. Private caregivers cannot be licensed and are not monitored. Licensed Means Adhering to Safety & Quality Standards, And More… Wee Watch is a licensed Agency that has been caring for children for over 30 years and exceeds many of the CCEYA standards.
