Early Learning and Childcare Facility Application Process
Congratulations on deciding to enter the exciting and fulfilling world of early learning and childcare. Operating an Early Learning and Child Care facility is an excellent opportunity to establish a business which will allow you to follow your passion for caring for young children and help children to achieve their full potential.
This process may take 6 to 12 months to complete. You must provide the appropriate documentation, have the necessary inspections and meet with the Early Learning and Childcare licensing staff who will determine whether your facility meets the requirements for operation. A licence will be issued when all of the requirements have been met and you will be given approval to begin operation. These requirements are based on the Regulations of the Early Childhood Services Act which are in place to provide safe environments which also are focused on the learning and developmental needs of young children. It is important that you read all of the documents carefully and complete all of the forms and plans fully. The Early Learning and Childcare licensing staff assigned your application will assist you but incomplete documents and plans will slow down the process.
We look forward to working with you.
