Under the Early Learning and Child Care Act and Regulation, licensed family day home agencies recruit and train family day home educators who then offer child care from their homes. These programs can offer child care for up to 6 children (not including their own) in their homes.
Licensed agencies help by offering family day home program educators a network for training, resources and assistance. Agencies provide assurance to parents using family day homes by monitoring each home to ensure they are meeting health, safety and program quality standards for children in their care as prescribed under the Family Day Home Standards and the act.
