Private Home Day Care

We will have asked these questions, plus many more to our Private Home Day Care caregivers. The program is developed with the belief that it is the right of every child to live and grow in a warm and nurturing environment. 

We will do the legwork for you in locating a quality home for your children.  We will guarantee that all homes are screened for fire prevention, that caregivers have had a security check done by the "Family and Children’s Services" and that a criminal check has been done by the Military Police or local OPP.  In addition, our home visitor will conduct spot-checks at the caregivers home to ensure that your children are receiving the best care possible. 

You should also be aware of the fact that caregivers receive ongoing support and training from the PHDC program.  Caregivers will also share with you the menus and daily activities planned for your children.
