How to Start a Home Daycare in Canada

The Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Build a profitable home daycare from scratch—even if you have no experience.

Have you been thinking about opening a home daycare but don't know where to begin?

You're not alone.

When I came to Canada with my 11-month-old son, I had no childcare business experience and had to figure everything out on my own. I spent countless hours researching regulations, creating policies, setting up my daycare, and learning through trial and error.

Today, I run a successful licensed home daycare, and I created this guide so you don't have to start from scratch.

Whether you're planning to operate licensed or unlicensed, this guide gives you a clear roadmap to confidently launch your daycare and build a business you can be proud of.
