RUNNING A DAYHOME program

In reality, the majority of child care offered in Alberta is offered out of a child care providers own home.

all children in alberta deserve access to safe and quality child care regardless of the circumstances in which they receive that care.
AUTONOMY AND SUPPORT

We are passionate about connecting dayhome professionals with the resources and support they need to be their best so that the children of Alberta receive the best.
Despite popular belief, operating a dayhome business is no walk in the park and dayhome professionals are at an increased risk of experiencing isolation and burnout that in unique to an in-home child care environment where providers work long hours without breaks or opportunities to connect with others (unlike like facility based child care settings).
SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT IS THE KEY TO LONGEVITY AND SUCCESS IN YOUR DAYHOME BUSINESS.
