Step 4 of 20 · Your first day
Set up KeepCount
Set up KeepCount: five minutes of questions, then the steps in order. Each step is done once its records are in KeepCount.
Watch out: Your answers decide which requirements apply: a requirement an answer switches off shows as not applicable, with the answer, rather than disappearing.
More about this
"A few questions first" asks how many homes the agency oversees and how many home child care visitors it employs, whether children use a pool or another body of water at any home, whether dogs, cats or ferrets are kept, whether volunteers or students work with children in homes, and whether the agency is enrolled in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care System (CWELCC); "Save the answers" keeps them. The steps that follow are done once their records are in KeepCount, and the ones still open stay on your To do and in licensing readiness. When the guide is done, "Take the guide out of the menu" removes it.
Your agency's words for people and its policies may differ; the screens are the same. The screen is from KeepCount 0.99.191, captured November 2, 2026 in a demonstration organization: everyone in it is fictional. Section numbers are O. Reg. 137/15 (General) under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014, read on e-Laws on November 2, 2026. This explains how KeepCount works; it is not legal advice, and the Ministry's program advisors decide compliance.
