The first step in becoming a licensed family child care provider (FCCP) is to contact the Early Learning and Child Care Division, Government of Manitoba for information on the licensing process. Call 204-945-0776 or toll free 1-888-213-4754.
After licensing is almost complete, most family child care providers become MCCA members to access a range of benefits and services. Most popular are the group rates for liability insurance that is required for all licensed family child care homes and a group benefits plan that offers long term disability and health coverage for the individual or family. An MCCA membership also includes a Child Care Activity and Record Keeping Calendar (while quantities last), designed to help providers with program ideas and manage the business requirements of a self employed person. All providers receive 4 issues annually of our publication, Child Care Bridges, as well as a joint membership with the Canadian Child Care Federation. Providers can register for MCCA events such as workshops and conferences at reduced rates.
A family child care membership costs $12.50 per month paid by electronic funds transfer from your bank account, or $150.00 for our full membership year January – December. (rates can be pro-rated if you join part way through the year)
