About Wee Watch

Since 1984, Wee Watch® has proven to be an exceptional Canadian organization. Now, as Wee Watch expands into the United States, we continue to maintain our high standards of childcare and business excellence. Wee Watch owners carefully screen potential Wee Watch Providers for their childcare skills, as well as their ability to provide children with a warm, safe and stimulating environment.

Wee Watch Providers complete a detailed interview, home assessment, a physical checkup and personal and criminal reference checks prior to children beginning care with them. Providers must also complete First Aid training and are expected to continually upgrade their skills. Once a Wee Watch owner hires the right Providers, they then spend their time marketing for parents and managing the activities of the childcare Providers.

Wee Watch daycare franchises offer full and part-time care for children six weeks to 12 years of age. The partnership between Wee Watch franchisees, parents and Providers enhances the quality of care that each child receives. Wee Watch franchise owners will check the Provider’s home for safety and ensure all standards are maintained.

Parents have the peace of mind of knowing Wee Watch uses many resources to keep them informed of the curriculum in the home, as well as providing them with a wide range of services. Some of these services include a written home visit report, back-up service for days the Provider needs off due to illness or holidays, on-going workshops and training programs for franchisees and Providers, tax receipts and more.

Testimonials

Purchasing a Franchise with Wee Watch fit my goal of running my own business from home while being available to my school aged children. The Head Office helped with marketing tools and techniques and by following their model, I have successfully been able to grow my business while still being an involved stay-at-home mom. -Cheryl Fillion, franchisee since 2007

I feel very fortunate to be doing a job I love within an organization I believe in. We have the best system in place to support and enhance the early childhood experience for the child, parent and family. With the support and guidance I receive from the Head Office, I am able to concentrate on the families and providers. It is a reassuring feeling to know I can just pickup the phone at anytime and receive the support I need. -Gayle O'Connor, franchisee since 2005
