Home-Based Child Care
Licensed child care can be offered in a variety of settings, including in homes. Licensed home-based child care is an important component of Manitoba’s early learning and child care system.
Home-based child care providers are licensed across the province under an act called The Community Child Care Standards Act and its regulations. These requirements are in place to support the health, safety and well-being of children. Programs provided should facilitate play-based learning that nurtures children and helps to support their growth and development.
The Early Learning and Child Care Program supports licensed home-based family and group child care to meet the legislated requirements and to provide quality programs for Manitoba children and their families.
