How do I become a day parent?

The Welfare Quality and Inspection Authority grants permits and you can apply for an operating license from this agency. On My Pages, you can see what is required to obtain an operating license for home daycare.

Once the applicant has applied for an operating license, day care advisors at the South Center enroll the individual in a mandatory course for day parents.
