Registry of Home-based Child Care

The Registry of Home-based Child Care was implemented on June 28, 1999.

The Registry provides another option to help parents to find home-based child care in the City of Hamilton. The Registry is a listing only and cannot recommend a caregiver or provide any assurance of quality. It is the responsibility of the parents to interview and select the caregiver and to monitor the ongoing care of their child. The Registry can accept no responsibility for the parents' choice of caregiver or their satisfaction with the care arrangement.
