 Welcome!
This package has been designed to assist
you in organizing yourself and your home. As you start your new business,
as with anything, if you are well organized and knowledgeable, you
will enjoy greater success, as well as respect from the parents using
your services.
The Ontario Early Years Centre Child Care Registry
cannot guarantee the number of children in your care. The Registry
is merely another way for you to advertise your home based childcare
business. The Ontario Early Years Centre will not inspect, license
or supervise the home daycare's. We can provide information on nutrition,
health, safety, first aid, child development, behaviour management,
daycare activities and other pertinent topics to the parents and
caregivers, to assist and encourage good childcare. Please ask us
for resources you would find helpful.
A child care program is one that should be selected
by the parent. As a Home Based Childcare Provider, the onus is on
you to design a stimulating, safe, nurturing environment for the
children in your care. Parents are best able to evaluate and choose
childcare for their own children because they know their family
needs. The responsibility for selecting and employing a childcare
provider rests with the parent. We encourage parents to carefully
interview and check references before leaving their child in someone’s
care. Taking the time and energy to screen child care providers
is an important part of selecting a loving, quality environment
for their child. You should be prepared for an in-depth interview.
This package of information has been put together
to help you design good care for children and learn more about the
various aspects of childcare as a business. It is to be used in
conjunction with, “A Child Care Guide for Home Caregivers”,
a resource book that you can borrow from The Ontario Early Years
Centre’s Toy and Resource Lending Program.
