YMCA Licensed Home Child Care programs offered at this location provide children from 2–4 years with high-quality care and the support they need within a home environment.
Program overview: A strong start to a healthy future
YMCA Licensed Home Child Care program is child care in a “family-style” setting with flexible hours, family groupings, and the opportunity for siblings to be in child care together. Our licensed home childcare providers provide a play-based learning environment combining indoor and outdoor activities.
The YMCA contracts Licensed Home Child Care providers who provide child care for children with a maximum of six children (no more than three children under two years of age). Nutritious snacks and meals are served following the guidelines of the Canada Food Guide. Homes are monitored monthly at a minimum by an employee of the YMCA called the Home Consultant.
For more than 50 years, the YMCA has strengthened communities across the Greater Toronto Area by providing childcare programs that support and nurture the well-being of young children. Let us help your child ignite their confidence and develop essential life skills. Inquire today about program spaces near you.
