I, Dianne, provide child care in my own home, for up to four children, ages newborn to six years of age. 
 

Effective August 31, 2015 the Ontario Government has put into effect the new Child Care and Early Years act 2014. This act states that an unlicensed provider must inform parents that they are unlicensed in writing (either hard copy or electronic).  A provider must keep a disclosure for two years.  The disclosure must say.  "This child care program is not licensed by the Government of Ontario."  

In accordance with the Child Care and Early Years Act 2014, I am informing you that this child care program (Dianne's Home Daycare), was not licensed by the Government of Ontario, from June 1995 to August 2022.

​

Hours of Service

Our business hours are Monday to Friday  7:50 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We are closed Saturdays and Sundays. 

​

Vacations

I take my job very seriously.  I realize the inconvenience my absence causes to our Daycare Families.  If I need time off for an appointment or illness, I will notify parents as soon as possible.


Enrolment Records
⦁    Up to date enrolment records for all children in attendance must be on site at all times         and be available to all staff.  These records include: Daycare Record (contract); 

     Immunization Records; Emergency Information; etc.  It is the parents' responsibility to

     see to it that any new information is provided.

⦁    At any one time the number of children with special needs must not exceed two
⦁    At any one time the number of children under the age of two must not exceed three
