Family Day Homes

 

Approved family day homes are private residences where children are cared for by a qualified person living in the home. Unlike licensed day cares, approved family day homes offer child care to no more than six children per home, which includes the caregiver's own children.

Much like your own home, a family day home offers a warm and positive environment where children feel safe. They are also supported and monitored by government contracted family day home agencies, so you can be sure the program meets or exceeds government standards in everything from nutrition to health and safety. 

Alberta Children and Youth Services can provide financial assistance to help eligible low and middle-income families with the cost of using an approved family day home.
