Advantages of Becoming a Provider

Starting your own home child care business can be both exciting and challenging but with the support of Etobicoke Home Child Care Agency (EHCCA) we will help you make informed choices and productive outcomes.

You will be a part of a program that is licensed by the Ministry of Education with a purchase of service agreement with the City of Toronto.
You will receive continuous support from qualified Home Child Care Consultants who will assist you in providing the best quality child care curriculum that is play-based and respects diversity.
You are able to provide child care for up to 6 children in your home from ages 0 to 12 years old complying with the required age ratios.
You will have regular opportunities to participate in professional development workshops, networking opportunities, and training in areas such as nutrition, first-aid, health and safety, children with extra support needs, and program development.
You will be supported with all necessary documentation to comply with the Child Care Early Years Act, 2014 and Home Child Care Assessment for Quality Improvement (AQI) health and safety standards.
