About Wee Watch Licensed Home Child Care London

Wee Watch Licensed Home Child Care is a licensed home childcare agency located in the SoHo neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The business serves local parents seeking safe, reliable, and high-quality childcare while simultaneously providing a platform for individuals to become self-employed childcare providers. The agency offers a comprehensive support system for its network of over 1,000 childcare providers. These services include finding children for homes, providing insurance coverage, and collecting parent fees. Providers receive necessary equipment such as strollers, high chairs, and baby gates, along with initial and ongoing training and home set-up support. The agency also provides back-up care for sick or vacation days, regular visits from an RECE to offer advice, and networking opportunities. Additionally, the business offers educational programming through its Wee Learn Program, which includes ideas and resources for children and parents. Founded in 1984 by a mother who recognized a need for regulated, home-based childcare, Wee Watch has spent over 40 years developing its approach. The organization operates as a family business for families, focusing on a philosophy that private home daycare is the most appropriate form of childcare due to the personal attention it provides. The agency works in partnership with 44 non-profit agencies across Ontario to ensure that all homes meet Ministry of Education standards for safety and nutrition. The business emphasizes an anti-racism commitment, stating that it will not tolerate discrimination in any form within its selection processes or childcare homes.
