How does an agency help in your search for licensed home child care?

Each agency has their own way of assisting families in finding licensed home child care. Generally, parents are contacted four to eight weeks prior to a preferred start date. The parents complete an intake form which includes questions about their child and the care they require along with the area of town that would best suit their child care needs.

The agency takes the information provided, looks at the vacancies in the area and connects with providers about a potential family, this is relevant for licensed home care only, not centres.
