FAQ

  • Will I receive a certificate from this training?

    Yes, your certificate of completion will be emailed to you immediately after you complete the final exam.

  • Will this course qualify me to open a day care in my home?

    This course, plus your Responsible Adult training and having child safe first aid will qualify you to open a home day care.

    You will also need to speak to a licensing officer to have a home inspection if you want to open a licensed day care in your home.

    The minimum age is 19 years.

  • Does Home Day Care training need to be a college or university course?

    No; individuals may be trained in a variety of ways – online, in workshops, conferences, seminars or classes offered through local recreation centres, or through working with an experienced child care provider who can share knowledge and skills.

    Head Start Online Schools’ training meets the BC Child Care Licensing requirements, and is an accredited provider through ICOES.

  • Do I need to renew the Home Day Care Training at any point?

    No, this is a one-time requirement. However, continuing to update skills and knowledge enhances an individuals ability to provide quality care to individuals.

  • Who Can I Contact For More Information?

    Call Head Start Online School at 604-426-1243 or email learnwithheadstart@gmail.com.
