What is CAS? Here in MB, we have criminal record checks and child abuse checks that are mandatory for most jobs that involve working with children and vulnerable people. I know they are mandatory for dc centres but not sure if they are for licensed hdc's. I am a private hdc so I don't have to have them but have had parents ask for them. I explain that I have had them at previous jobs (I have always worked with children and vulnerable people at my healthcare job) and that they cost money to do them often. This always satisfies them. I also briefly worked with CFS (child family services) so this usually appeases the families.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
