Home Child Care Providers: This week we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and remind you that the work you do each day matters deeply.

In every comforting word, patient routine, playful moment, and responsive interaction, you help young children feel safe, valued, and ready to learn. Your care helps shape their confidence, their sense of belonging, and the foundation they will carry with them for years to come. Thank you for the steady care, skill, and presence you bring to children’s earliest years. ❤️

Dear Caregivers, Families, and Community Members,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Child Care Providers Resource Network will be closing down. After more than 44 years supporting, connecting, and advocating alongside the home child care community, this was not an easy decision. We have been honoured to be part of a network built on care, dedication, and a shared commitment to children and families.

We are deeply grateful for the trust shown to us over the years. Your support has helped make our work meaningful, and we are proud of what we have accomplished together in uplifting and strengthening home child care in Ontario.

Thank you for standing with us and for being part of this community. Your dedication to children and families has always been at the heart of this work.

Sincerely,
CCPRN Board of Directors and Staff

Please note: This page will be shut down in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for final updates.

There’s something special about spending time in our local parks with young children—fresh air, open space, and endless little moments of discovery. Whether it’s watching birds, collecting leaves, climbing on the playground, or simply running free, parks give children a wonderful place to learn, play, and connect with nature. A simple park visit can turn into a big adventure.
