Family Day partners with individuals who are interested in developing their own home-based child care business. We are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services to administer the operation of home child care programs in accordance with the Day Nurseries Act.

Our caregivers are self-employed individuals who contract with Family Day to provide quality child care in their own home for a maximum of 5 children. When you contract your business with Family Day you will receive ongoing support and access to training to enable you to provide a high quality early learning and child development environment in your home.
