How to become a child care operator<\/h2>\n

High-quality child care is extremely important in the lives of children and families. It helps children to develop skills they will need for the rest of their lives; it supports families in their child-rearing role by providing a warm and nurturing environment for their children as well as knowledgeable and empathetic adults who are their willing partners in this enterprise; and it plays an important role in the community\u2019s ability to support the business of living their lives. Quality child care should support a child\u2019s emotional, social, intellectual and physical well-being.<\/p>\n

The first step in becoming a childcare provider is determining what type of care you would like to provide.<\/p>\n

Licensed Child Care<\/h3>\n

In BC, anyone providing care for three or more children not related to the operator by blood or marriage<\/em> requires a community care facilities license. Licensed care can take place in an operator\u2019s home (licensed family child care) as well as in a community or commercial setting (licensed group child care).<\/p>\n

To learn more about licensed child care, please contact your local Child Care licensing office.<\/a><\/p>\n
