Home daycare in Quebec

How do I find a home daycare near me?

Enter your postal code in the search form. You will see the home daycares listed in your city or in nearby cities, with their open spots. You can also call the coordinating office (bureau coordonnateur) for your area, which knows every recognized provider nearby.

Is there a list of all home daycares in Quebec?

No complete public list exists. Each coordinating office keeps the list of the providers it has recognized, and some publish it on their website. The government's childcare map only shows providers who chose to publish their profile, with an approximate address. On SOS-Nounou, you find the providers who listed their daycare and show their open spots.

How much does a home daycare cost in 2026?

A subsidized spot costs $9.65 a day in 2026, a rate indexed every January 1. A recognized provider without subsidized spots sets her own rate. In that case, you can claim the Quebec childcare expense tax credit, and even receive it every month through advance payments.

How can I check that a home daycare is recognized?

Ask the provider for the name of her coordinating office, then call that office to confirm. On our profiles, look for the Recognized RSG badge and the name of the coordinating office when the provider entered it.

How many children can an unrecognized provider care for?

Since September 1, 2026, no more than 2 children, or children who all live in the same household. To care for more, she must be recognized by a coordinating office.
