Community Based Child Care
Scarborough
Our Promise to You
At Heritage, we have enjoyed an outstanding reputation for licensed quality child care for more than 30 years.
Our child care center programs are staffed by Registered Early Childhood Educators, who follow developmentally appropriate practices to ensure your child receives the best care. We believe learning in early childhood emerges through experiences, interactions with responsive teachers and discovering the world through rich environment setups.
Home Child Care Providers are dedicated individuals who will ensure your child receives a safe, nurturing and fun program in the comfort of a loving home environment.

Heritage Home Child Care Agency Services
Our home child care services offer high-quality childcare in a warm home environment. We recruit, assess and train caregivers to ensure high standards of care are delivered in every home. Home Child Care Providers are contracted self-employed individuals that provide child care in their homes.
Home Visitors are Registered Early Childhood Educators hired by the Agency to conduct monthly home visits to each child care home. During the monthly visits, they will observe and document program activities in the home, assess health and safety standards and support the home child care provider.
Home Visitors consult with parents to coordinate a successful home child care experience for their children.
