In Calgary, if you want to have your children looked after in a home-based child care, you have a choice between private babysitters and an approved Family Day Home.
Under the Child Care Licensing Act of Alberta, a business can care for up to six children (infants to 12 years of age) in a home without a license, but to be considered a Family Day Home, it needs an agency approval.
What that agency approval means, ultimately, is optimal safety and a high level of care for the children.“Babysitting services” that do not apply for an approval are not monitored. The business owners do not receive any professional development support or advice regarding best practices.
