Prescott and Russell Licensed Home Child Care Agency

Prescott and Russell Licensed Home Child Care Agency 

The Prescott and Russell Licensed Home Child Care Agency is a service within the Early Years Services of the Social Services Department of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell.

Looking for Home Child Care

The Agency offers a quality service that is equitable, affordable, and accessible to all residents of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. The supervised home child care must adhere to the standards and regulations of the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014. We offer child care for children from six weeks to 12 years of age inclusively. We also offer home child care for children before and after school.

It is called home child care because the children are cared for, in the Provider’s home. Home child care offers children a structured and stimulating environment, as well as various activities that will allow them to develop physical, social, intellectual, and emotional skills. The Agency assures that all homes in our program are selected through a rigorous screening process. Scheduled and unscheduled visits are made on a regular basis to ensure that the government’s standards are met. Each Child Care Provider must follow provincial directives regarding health and security policies, as well as the number and age of children permitted in their Home Child Care.

We can summarize the advantages for parents choosing a Licensed Home Child Care Agency as follows:

  • the Agency's qualified staff members are responsible for recruiting as well as for the constant evaluation of the Child Care Provider's home;
  • accessibility and flexibility of a Home Child Care;
  • nutritional meals and snacks;
  • stimuling activities adapted to the children's ages, needs, and interests;
  • program geared to Children with Special Needs;
  • possibility of a subsidy for eligible families;
  • a formal agreement between the parents, the Child Care Provider, and the Agency;
  • affordable fees with an income tax receipt.

How to become a Home Child Care Provider

Interested in offering quality Child Care from your home?

The person responsible for Home Child Care Services (called a Provider) provides a nurturing environment in which children can safely create, explore, and grow. Parents seek to find a warm, caring, and trustworthy individual to care for their children while they are at work. The Prescott and Russell Licensed Home Child Care Agency is looking for individuals who are interested in starting or developing their own Home Child Care Centre. If you meet our selection criteria, our qualified Staff will provide the support necessary to deliver the highest quality of Early Years Services.

Requirements for Home Child Care Providers

If you are interested, below is what you will be asked by the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Early Years Services Staff. These requirements must be in effect only when the Child Care Centre is open.

The candidate must:

  • be 21 years old;
  • enjoy working with children;
  • submit three written references, which cannot be provided by family members;
  • submit a criminal record check, including a check on the ability to work with vulnerable persons, for any person who is a resident of the household or regularly at the home over the age of 18;
  • (as well as their spouse and anyone living at home who is over 18 years of age) sign a Consent to Release Information for a reference check with Valoris for Children and Adults of Prescott-Russell;
  • have a medical form filled out by a doctor who will attest that they are capable of caring for children;
  • provide a medical form for family members;
  • ensure a smoke-free environment at all times, whether children are present or not;
  • be provided with and agree to abide by all the policies and procedures of the Agency and the Ministry of Education;
  • be bilingual (English and French);
  • maintain a $5,000,000 home for contents and civil liability insurance policy and a $2,000,000 auto insurance policy if the car is used by the Child Care Provider;
  • take a First Aid with level C CPR & AED course;
  • participate in training sessions offered in the future.

Documentation:

The Prescott and Russell Licensed Home Child Care Agency thanks all those who will submit documentation. However, we will only communicate with those chosen. The Home Child Care Agency also reserves the right not to apply the right of appeal or to answer the applicant's questions.

Child Care Fee Subsidy

You may be eligible for a Child Care Fee Subsidy

As a parent or guardian, you may be eligible for a Child Care Fee Subsidy if you have one or more children aged from birth to 12 years old who attend or are about to attend a licensed Child Care Centre.

What does it take to qualify for a Child Care Fee Subsidy?

  • Reside in the region of Prescott and Russell;
  • Your children must attend a licensed Child Care Centre in Prescott and Russell or the Prescott and Russell Licensed Home Child Care Agency;
  • Have a full- or part-time job, be looking for a job, be going to school full- or part-time, or have a child with special needs;
  • Be experiencing financial needs identified by your most recent Notice of Assessment, according to governmental deadlines.

How do I submit an application?

To apply for a Child Care Fee Subsidy, you are invited to register an Application for Child Care Fee Subsidy (Central waiting list) and by filling out an application once your registration is complete. If you need further instructions, please follow these steps.

Once your application is submitted, you will automatically be added to the waiting list for a Child Care Fee Subsidy, and someone will contact you when a space becomes available. We will then send you a list of documents to provide in order to determine your eligibility and proceed with the financial assessment. Once the documents have been received, we will contact you to schedule an appointment.

How is financial eligibility determined?

To be eligible for a Child Care Fee Subsidy, you absolutely must have filed an income tax return for the most recent tax year *.

To determine your financial eligibility for a Child Care Fee Subsidy, we will ask you to provide line 236 from your most recent Notice of Assessment and to subtract the amount of your RC62 – Universal Child Care Benefit or your family net income found on your Canada child tax benefit.

A parental contribution will be determined based upon your income from the previous year. You are eligible for a Child Care Fee Subsidy if the amount of your parental contribution does not exceed the total amount of your Child Care expenses per month.

*If you have recently immigrated to Canada, you can still apply, but you will need to provide your Notice of Assessment as soon as you file your first income tax return.

If your financial situation has changed considerably since the previous tax year, you may qualify for a fee reduction in your parental contribution. To take advantage of this reduction, you must provide verification that your income for this calendar year will be at least 20 per cent less that the most recent tax year.

You may use the Childcare Subsidy Calculator to give you an estimate of the parental contribution you will have to pay. Important: This calculator is for reference purposes only. The exact parental contribution amount will be determined at your application or annual reapplication appointment.
