Flexible, dependable care in your neighbourhood.
Licensed home child care is a small-group setting of up to six children in a home child care provider’s home. It is a flexible and personal option for licensed child care that includes full-time, part-time, weekend care, shift care and emergency child care options to meet your flexible child care needs.
As part of licensed child care, the homes are visited regularly by our team of Early Childhood Educators to support home child care providers with health and safety, nutrition, resources and supporting quality programs and experiences for your child.

Financial benefits
More and more families are seeking licensed care in order to benefit from the significantly lower fees that the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program affords them. At the same time, home child care providers see many financial benefits of partnering with a licensed agency like ours. For example, through Today’s Family, you can access grants to support your small business. You also become eligible for tax deductions on household expenses and supplies that you need to run your business.

Access to professional learning to continue to build your skills
Strong proponents of early learning, we also believe in life-long learning. Engaging in our training which is offered on an ongoing basis also connects you to the wider community of Today’s Family home child care providers.
Ongoing administrative support
We help providers connect with families in their neighbourhood and support them with some of the administrative tasks that can become a burden. We also help them navigate through government policies and regulations.
The advantages of running your own home-based business
When you operate your home child care, you set your own hours, including the option to offer extended hours. Indeed, many of our licensed home child care providers operate during non-traditional hours, including evenings and weekends, thereby supporting families who require flexible schedules.
While you maintain the freedom to provide your program your way, you can depend on Today’s Family to support you every step of the way. With us by your side, you will be able to provide high-quality, affordable care.
And there’s more…
Through our involvement with the Home Child Care Association of Ontario, we are reimagining what is needed to best support licensed home child care providers so they may offer responsive and flexible models of care to families as demand for our services soars. Together with our partners, we are advocating that all levels of government invest in a wholistic model for home child care that will benefit both families and educators.
