YMCA Licensed Home Child Care is often the child care of choice for parents who are looking for a quality program in a “family style” environment that offers greater flexibility (extended hours, overnights and weekend care) with a smaller group size.
Through a careful selection process, each Self-employed Provider is supported by our YMCA Home Child Care Consultants, who visit each home regularly to ensure the delivery of high-quality care and compliance with Ministry of Education and YMCA legislation and policies.
