EXCERPTS:

Finding the proper child care is almost a full-time job of its own.

Fortunately, the City of Hamilton and the Hamilton Best Start Network have teamed up to streamline the process.

www.HamiltonOneHSN [2] is a centralized online child care registry that consolidates information for licensed child care, school age and early learning programs.

By visiting the website, parents can research all their options (narrowing searches according to location, hours, program and care type) in one place. From there, rather than applying individually to a handful of providers, they can complete a single application and submit it to multiple providers.
