Description: Child care provided in home-based settings by non-relatives remains a prominent model of care in Canada. Home-based child care (sometimes called family child care) is provided in private residences where the provider lives and operates the service to typically mixed age groups of children and often the provider’s own children. This study provides a national overview of licensed and unlicensed home-based child care and providers caring for children aged 0 to 5 years in Canada in April 2022.
