Finding Quality Programs

Licensed child care programs must meet and maintain specific provincial standards, set out in the Child Care and Early Years Act. These standards provide for the health, safety and developmental needs of children. For more information on licensed child care programs, please visit the Ministry of Education's website at http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/childcare/.

Currently there are three types of regulated early learning and child care programs available on OneHSN Childcare Connect:

Centre-Based – includes child care centres and nursery schools; all are licensed by the Ministry of Education, Child Care and Quality Assurance and Licensing Branch;
Home-Based – caregivers provide care for up to six children within their own homes under contract with the County of Huron (licensed by the Ministry of Education, Child Care and Quality Assurance and Licensing Branch)
School-Based – before and after school programs are offered for children attending full day kindergarten and also children up to grade 6; these programs are regulated by the Ministry of Education

Click the “Find Child Care Now” tab to see a map of child care centres in your area.

Your Application

The County of Huron is pleased to offer OneHSN Childcare Connect, an online centralized childcare registry and information service that simplifies the process of applying for child care.

You may apply to as many child care programs as you like. By applying online, you do not need to contact multiple child care programs. Complete and submit an online application to register for any of the child care options. Once your account has been created, you will need to provide information about you and your family on the application form. The information you provide will be used to suggest child care options. OneHSN Child Care Connect places your child’s application on the waitlist only, this does not confirm that you have a spot at the child care centre. The child care provider will contact you when a space becomes available. For an instructional video to assist with the application process, please click here.

You will receive a notice every month reminding you to log in and ensure your information is correct and your applications reflect your needs. If you do not log in after 90 days, your account will be automatically disabled.

To access, or refer a child to this service, an Online Referral Form is available, or you may contact the program at 519.482.8505. Completed forms can be faxed to 519.482.5710.
