Family day home educators provide home-based child care and operate under licensed family day home agencies. These agencies are responsible for supporting and monitoring family day home educators and ensuring they meet the requirements under the Family Day Home Standards and Early Learning and Child Care Act.

Licensed agencies help by offering family day home educators a network for training, resources and assistance. Agencies provide assurance to parents using family day homes by monitoring each program to ensure they are meeting health, safety and program quality standards for children in their care as prescribed under the Family Day Home standards and the act.
