Licence-Not-Required (LNR) Registration

Picture
An LNR  childcare is defined as an individual providing child care in his or her place of residence.  The LNR child care provider may care for no more than two children or one sibling group at any one time.  This is in addition to the LNR care provider’s own children.
According to BC law, individuals who wish to care for three or more children must apply for a licence with their local health authority.
If you are thinking of becoming an RLNR, here are some things to consider:
  • Do you enjoy the company of children for extended periods of time?
  • Are you generally in good health?
  • Do you have the support of your family and others living in your home?
  • Are you willing to adapt your home to accommodate the needs of children?
  • Can you work independently without a lot of adult interaction on a daily basis?
  • Do you feel confident about your ability to communicate with the families of children in your care?
  • Do you already have or are you willing to undergo the necessary training?
Whether you plan to register with the CCRR or not, we strongly recommend first aid training and liability insurance.

 Benefits of Registration Include:
  • Referrals to families seeking child care
  • Listing on the MCFD Child Care Registry
  • Information, resources and support from CCRR consultants
  • Access to an extensive lending library of toys, books and resources
  • Training opportunities at a reduced rate
  • Networking opportunities with other child care professionals
  • Quarterly newsletters and monthly supplements
  • Increased rates of child care subsidy for families who qualify

The first step is to register for an information session.  Call us at 604-885-5657 to make an appointment.  The CCRR will assist you and support you throughout the process and beyond.
