Many of today’s working families have a hard time trying to balance a career and still find professional caregivers to look after their children. If you’re wondering how to get your children the personal care and attention that they deserve, Wee Watch is here to help.
     Wee Watch is a licensed private home child care agency that provides quality care for children ranging from six weeks of age to 12 years old. Through the Wee Watch day care system, children are cared for by fully-qualified child care providers offering full or part time care in a warm, safe and stimulating environment.
     “Our Wee Watch Providers can give a child the personal attention they need due to the small ratio setting,” explains Luisa Pappert, Supervisor of Wee Watch Enriched Home Child Care in Brantford. “We work closely with parents and providers to establish flexible programs and menus that are tailored to a child’s individual needs. We also offer flexible hours including evenings, weekend and overnight in some cases.”
     Wee Watch operates under all provincial licensing regulations in accordance with the Day Nurseries Act. All their home child care providers undergo a rigorous screening and training process to ensure they have the proper child care skills and the ability to provide children with a safe and educational environment. All Wee Watch providers are fully trained in first aid and CPR, and are constantly upgrading their skills.
     To ensure the highest degree of quality and safety, Wee Watch makes regular “unscheduled” monthly visits to a provider’s home to check that all standards are maintained. Wee Watch will then provide parents with a written evaluation on how their child is progressing. Their agency will even supply parents with a back-up provider if the current provider is unavailable to care for a child due to illness or necessity.
     In terms of their providers, Wee Watch supplies them with ongoing training as well as various materials including manuals, activity ideas, craft supplies and other related equipment such as playpens, strollers and high chairs. With the desire to build on a successful model, Wee Watch developed and introduced an educational component – an exclusive “play and learn” series—that grows with the child harmoniously through to school age.
     Parents can gain enormous benefits by securing a child care provider through Wee Watch. Wee Watch providers offer greater flexibility and convenience for working families that have a hard time dealing with the rigid schedule of most daycare facilities. Their services are also remarkably affordable.
     Wee Watch’s Brantford office has been providing home child care services in the Brantford and Paris area since 1989. 
     “Many of our families have been referred to our agency through existing or previous clients that have had a wonderful experience with Wee Watch,” Luisa explains.
     It’s a big compliment that continues to fuel their success.
     “At Wee Watch, we’re committed to supporting a child’s emotional, social and physical well-being,” Luisa says. “Securing quality child care is about offering parents a choice. Wee Watch is committed to providing our families with the highest level of quality care through the Wee Watch Program.”
