A home-based education and care service can claim funding for a child where the educator is a member of that child’s family and is living with the child in the child’s home only if all of the following requirements are met:

  1. the educator is part of a licensed home-based service, and
  2. the home is available for use by children who are not part of the educator’s family, and
  3. at least one child who is not a member of the educator’s family attends the home.

A home-based service can only claim funding for the child who is a family member for the hours a child who is not a family member attends the home.

For example : If a child who is not a family member attends the home for education and care for 15 hours per week, then the home-based service may claim 15 hours per week for each child who is a part of the educator’s family. Other children who are not part of the educator’s family may attend at different times in order to claim up to a maximum of 30 hours per week per child providing that the maximum number of children in home is not exceeded.

Note : In exceptional circumstances, in isolated communities, (3) may be waived by the Ministry regional office.
