Oxford County needs more licensed child care spaces! That’s why we’re looking to recruit more affiliate at-home Providers.

Do I need to be a Registered Early Childhood Educator to be a Provider?

The preferred Provider applicant will have experience caring for children. You do not need to be a Registered Early Childhood Educator to apply. We welcome all combinations of experience! 

What does the application process entail?

Each application begins by contacting one of our Home Child Care Consultants by phone, email, or using the contact form on this page. They will provide more information about the application, timeline, and additional requirements. Our consultants are here to help guide you through the whole process! 

What are the additional requirements needed to be a Provider? 

To become an approved Provider, you will also need:

• Current Standard First Aid and CPR C Certification
• Clear Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector Checks for everyone 18 and older that resides in or frequently visits your home
• Complete an in-home inspection to ensure you have a healthy, safe environment for children that is in compliance with the Ministry of Education's requirements
• Proof of liability insurance coverage for your child care business
