Starting a Daycare in Canada

Rules, regulations and licensing policies of Child Care/Day Care facilities in Canada are provincially and territorially regulated and are therefore subject to continual revision by their governing bodies. The rules in Ontario for example, differ from those in British Columbia, and requirements to operate a Day Care in 1995 are not necessarily the same as they are today. As such, it is exceedingly important for individual’s whishing to operate their own Day Care facility to have access to up-to-date, relevant and factual information. Often, this task requires the daunting mission of endless Internet searches, hoping that the accessed material is up-to-date and relevant for a particular location. After all, failing to abide by the rules associated with each province or territory can result in fines, invalid liability insurance and even closure.
