Community's Role in Childcare Selection
We understand the significance of community in childcare. Daisy Blue boasts 44 licensed childcare agencies providing infant and toddler childcare in your vicinity. With the introduction of the government-funded $10/day childcare program, known as the Canada Wide Early Learning and Child Care Plan (CWELCC), only childcare spaces within qualifying daycare centers or licensed home childcare are eligible. This has heightened the popularity of home childcare among parents seeking licensed daycare nearby.
Parents seeking licensed daycare can rest assured knowing that with a licensed agency like Daisy Blue, providers undergo thorough screening, and the agency oversees their homes. Parents appreciate the nurturing home environment compared to the institutional setting of daycare centers, especially for infants and toddlers. Licensed home environments provide a nurturing atmosphere for children to thrive, with a maximum of 6 children in care ensuring individualized attention.
Moreover, licensed home childcare offers flexible hours, with some providers offering extended hours, evenings, weekends, and even overnight care for parents with non-traditional schedules. Beyond these benefits, at Daisy Blue, we offer our curriculum learning and together we can ensuring every child participates in learning designed for kindergarten readiness.

The Importance of Community in Childcare
Delivering high-quality, affordable, and flexible childcare is paramount to us. Our core value emphasizes diversity and inclusion within our care homes. The majority of our childcare providers are women, and we take pride in enabling them to work from home and earn an income. As independent contractors, our providers are microentrepreneurs managing infant and toddler daycares within your community.
Operating from home, our providers reflect the diversity of their communities, contributing to the local economy and enabling more parents, especially mothers, to engage in the workforce. This contribution is essential to the community's vitality. We prioritize creating a sense of "belonging" for all children in their childcare homes, treating each individual with dignity and respect regardless of race, ancestry, place of origin, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or intellectual or physical disability.
Our program is committed to inclusivity, acknowledging that each person is unique and deserves equal opportunities to learn and grow. We are dedicated to providing quality care for all children and their families, fostering partnerships with our staff, providers, and parents alike.
