IT TAKES A TEAM
To provide the high-quality childcare environment your child deserves, we know it takes a team of qualified and dedicated people,
which is why each Wee Watch Agency has a professional childcare team focused on supporting parents and Providers throughout their childcare experience.
THE WEE WATCH AGENCY
TEAM INCLUDES
AGENCY SUPERVISOR – the Supervisor is trained in the Wee Watch system and Ministry regulations, covering all aspects of providing safe, educational home childcare. They are there to support parents from the application process to the Provider selection process and throughout their childcare stay. They manage the operations and oversee the requirements to ensure all childcare needs are met.
HOME VISITOR (HV) – There is also a Home Visitor who is a Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE) with licensed childcare work experience. They have a strong theoretical background in child development and are skilled in planning and delivering inclusive play-based learning and care programs for children of all ages. Their role is to support the Providers in the day-to-day care of the children. They train Providers, monitor the homes and child’s well-being with regular, unannounced visits. The CCEYA requires one home visit every 3 months but our HV’s visit homes a minimum of once a month.
CHILDCARE PROVIDER – Wee Watch Providers are an elite group who have undergone extensive screening and training requirements to pass Ministry standards and Wee Watch requirements that include:
- Child Development and Child Guidance of young children
- Educational and age-appropriate activities
