As child care provider in our community, your child care setting can be listed for referrals. After gathering pertinent information on Licensed providers or screening* Licence-not-required providers we include you on our referral list.

As we receive calls from parents we create a file for them and their information is processed and referrals are made to care providers based on a parents needs and a providers services.

It is extremely important that you contact our program whenever you have any changes to your child care program such as vacancies or hours, as this allows us to give current and accurate referrals to parents seeking child care.

* Screening Licence not Required (LNR) child care providers.

To register with a Child Care Resource & Referral program you will need to be at least 19 years of age, comply with regulations regarding the number of children you care for, undergo criminal record checks on all persons in your home over age 12, provide a health reference signed by a physician, provide character references, produce a current First Aid Certificate, undergo a personal and home assessment, agree to visits from CCRR staff, agree to inform CCRR staff of any investigation involving child abuse or significant risk to the well being of children. You must also be willing to attend a specified number of hours of training.

Statement of responsibility: We provide referrals, not recommendations. Your name will be given to persons seeking child care for their children. Child Care Resource & Referral Programs assume no responsibility for any action or interaction occurring between the child care provider and persons receiving their name through our referral service.
