One home, one caregiver
Your child stays with the same provider, in the same small group, often for years. No room changes at eighteen months, no rotating staff — just a relationship that has time to deepen.
Licensed home child care · Ottawa, Ontario

6Children maxper home
As a Christian Early Learning Centre, our program is Christ-centred, where we believe in nurturing the whole child by combining early learning practice with biblical teaching.
We have an open-door policy, and you are welcome to take part in our program. Together we will guide your child in discovering God’s love while building the early learning foundations that carry them into school and beyond.
Four quadrants, one shield
What is on our crest is what happens in the day
The shield in our logo is divided into four. Each quarter names something we actually do — not a slogan, but a part of the daily rhythm in every Children’s Kingdom home.
The Word
Scripture, stories and songs are woven into ordinary moments — circle time, snack, the walk to the park — in language a two-year-old and a ten-year-old can each hold onto.
Prayer
Short, age-appropriate prayer at meals and gatherings. Children are invited, never pressured, and families of every background are welcomed exactly as they are.
Love
Kindness, patience, honesty, forgiveness and service to others — practised in how adults speak to children, and how children learn to speak to one another.
Family
Parents are partners, not visitors. Drop in, join an activity, share your culture and traditions. What you know about your child shapes what we plan.
Why families choose us
A home, not a hallway
Supervised, not left alone
Every provider is screened, trained and licensed through us. Our RECE home visitors come by each month, and we keep every medical, police check and safety record current.
Play that is planned
Programming follows How Does Learning Happen?, Ontario’s pedagogy for the early years. Real outdoor time daily, real books, real materials, no screens as babysitters.
Our Generations in Care initiative
Three generations, one program
Children benefit from meaningful relationships with people of different ages and abilities. We welcome seniors and persons with disabilities as staff members, volunteers and community partners, in roles designed to be meaningful, accessible and matched to individual strengths.
Exposure to adults with diverse life experience nurtures empathy, patience, respect and a deeper sense of community — values rooted in Christian teaching.
- Storytelling, reading and language enrichment
- Music, singing and worship support
- Art, crafts and creative activities
- Gardening and nature-based learning
- Cultural sharing and life-skills storytelling
- Reception, administrative and preparation support
Volunteers and students are never counted in staff-to-child ratios and never replace qualified staff. All classroom support happens under the direct supervision of an RECE.
Getting started
Four steps from first call to first day
-
Send your application
Tell us your child’s age, the days and hours you need, your neighbourhood and your preferred start date. It takes about five minutes.
-
We suggest a match
We look at location, availability, your child’s age and any specific needs, then propose one or more providers whose home and schedule fit.
-
Meet the provider, in their home
You visit, you ask questions, you see the space. Nothing is confirmed until you are comfortable. If it is not right, we keep looking.
-
Settle in, gradually
We plan short visits before the first full day. You receive the parent handbook, the emergency plan and your provider’s direct contact details.
What families say
[Replace with a real quotation from a parent, collected in writing with their permission. Two to four sentences works best.]
[Replace with a real quotation from a parent. Ask what surprised them, or what their child now does that they did not do before.]
[Replace with a real quotation — a provider or a long-standing family works well here too.]
A note for whoever fills this in: publish testimonials only with written consent, use first names only, and never pair a quotation with a photograph of a child.
Come and see for yourself
Our door is open. Book a visit, ask the awkward questions, meet the people who would care for your child. There is no cost and no obligation.
