Home Child Care Program

The Home Child Care program offers the benefits of a family atmosphere and individual attention, combined with legislated standards of quality and safety.

As part of this new program, Home Child Care Providers are self-employed, contracted and paid by the Trenton MFRC in order to offer care in their own homes for a maximum of six (6) children. The Trenton MFRC approves, supervises and supports caregivers who are interested in developing their own home-based child care business. Every effort will be made to accommodate most work schedules through flexible hours of care.
 
The Trenton MFRC will regularly conduct scheduled and unscheduled visits to ensure that all safety and other standards are maintained. Our Home Child Care Providers are also given ongoing administrative support, First Aid and CPR training, as well as opportunities for professional development.
 
The Home Child Care program is licensed by the Ministry of Education to administer the operation of this program in accordance with the Child Care Early Years Act.
