Lil' Jems Family Home Daycare Agency 2.67

We provide support/help for people who want to provide care for children in their home by helping with advertising, offering support, materials, matching families to providers, lending library of toys books and resources, climbers etc.., as well as training and networking through workshops. You can accept children with subsidized seats, and a great deal more! The reason I do this is to make sure parents are getting quality and providers have support. Providers are self employed running an approved family home daycare through our licensed agency. There is no fee, you pay me nothing. Parents pay 30+ per day, you can accept children with subsidized seats. You get to know other providers that become part of a home daycare family so you’re not so isolated, you get to see my smiling face each month for support!!

There are 14 agencies in total across NS, if you would like their contact info to check them out please let me know and I will email them to you!!

I own a centre in Yarmouth and wanted to have a safe, nurturing place to direct parents if I were not able to take them at the centre, due to age or lack of space. As my homes grew I realized how important it is. I have since expanded as far as Bridgewater and Windsor. I am funded by the department of Education to run the agency and help providers be successful and for families to have the opportunity to find quality in a home based daycare!!

You can search the Nova Scotia department of education family home daycare and Lil Jems Early Learning Childcare centre on the internet.

Also, you can go on thevanguard.ca and key Lil' Jems into the search bar.

My providers and I get to participate in workshops, conferences and retreats throughout the year (all paid by me), its a blast actually!

I travel throughout Yarmouth, Digby, Annapolis Valley and Windsor areas, to frequently to offer support to my providers.

If you have any questions about the agency, our providers or how to join us, please contact myself, or Natasha Elliott.
