Your new baby will be moved to the priority list with your current caregiver as long as your older child is in care. If space comes available at the same home when care is needed, you will get a spot there.
We require a Criminal Record Check with a Vulnerable Sector Check and Family & Children Services Checks from all care providers, their spouse and anyone in the home over the age of 18. The Fire department will also conduct an inspection of the home annually. If the care provider has pets, we require proof of rabies vaccination and a health inspection by either the Renfrew County District Health Unit or PMED. We also require care providers to have completed First Aid, CPR and Safe Food Handling courses. The provider must also add child care liability to their home insurance policy which specifies how many children they can care for. Licensed Private Home Day Cares can have up to 6 children, including their own, under 4 years.
We have the capacity to open homes anywhere in Renfrew County . However, due to being a Military community, most of our providers are located in Petawawa.
