Each York Professional Care & Education Provider has been thoroughly checked and has completed the following steps for approval:
Agency screening – interview for suitability, personal reference checks for competence, home visits for safety, fire inspection and verified police clearance
Minimum 25 hour Provider Orientation Training Course
Child related First Aid and CPR Course
Proof of good health for herself and all members of the household and assurance that they are free of communicable diseases and have proof of a TB test
Compliance with all health and safety standards in her home as set forth by the Fire Department, Public Health Department and Provincial legislation


I knew a sweet girl who was trying to get licensed through them and all the fencing measurements, inspections etc were taking so long that she finally decided to go unlicensed.
I checked their webpage and it seems they are a licensed agency and they also own daycare centers. They have 2 sections in their webpage one for parents interested in their daycare centers and another for parents interested in their "licensed" home daycare.
