Hello Families,
I have decided to pursue the process of becoming licensed through Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA). What does this mean to you...
It means that I will be operating under VIHA instead of Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR). VIHA conducts interviews, house inspections, program oversight, as well as many other regulatory processes. It also allows me more flexibility in accommodating a larger group of children.
My reason for doing this is not to increase the number of children in my care at one time, as I believe that quality care in my program cannot exist with a large group of children. I want to be able to accommodate more families requiring part time care while keeping children currently looking for full time. Essentially it gives me some more flexibility in who I can accept on a day to day basis. It further provides me with more support and resources to continue to grow as an educator and enhance my program for the children!
The process is lenghty and can take a few months to complete. I am hopeful I will be licensed in March and will keep you all updated as best I can! Thank you for your continued support!
