This program helps participants understand the complexities of operating a child care home business and will help you to submit an application to The Ministry of Education Early Years Branch to begin the process of becoming a regulated home child care operator. This program will help you MARCH from a passion to a profession.
Many newcomers arrive with rich caregiving experience but face challenges navigating Canada’s childcare system and understand the extensive regulations and business processes. This workshop fills that gap — combining practical learning, application support, and connections with experts — to make the path to becoming a regulated child care provider clear and achievable.
This program is designed for newcomer women in Saskatchewan who:
– Have experience caring for children or a strong interest in early childhood development.
– Wish to operate their own regulated home child care business.
– Want to learn about licensing requirements, safety standards, and business operations in Saskatchewan.
This workshop is funded by The Ministry of Education and proudly offered as an initiative of the Saskatoon Open Door Society (SODS), in collaboration with:
– St. John Ambulance – for First Aid & CPR certification
– Women’s Business Hub Food & Catering Program – for Food Safe Handling training
