What makes us different

providing What you need to succeed

If you've been looking into foster parenting for a while, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the choices out there. It can be so frustrating to go through so much information.

Simply put, Milestone Foster Homes is ranked #1 as Ontario's largest foster care provider.

Each foster family  works  with  Milestone  to  determine  the  best  fit  for  the  children  who  will move into  their  home.  We are very  careful about making  good  matches  for our families and children so  that  everyone  is  happy throughout the process.

AN EXCITING JOURNEY

WHO CAN FOSTER?

  • There are no particular qualifications to become a foster parent.
  • If you have experience working with children as a professional, this will be considered an asset.
  • However, if you have a desire to "give back", help children in need and can provide a safe haven for them to stay, we'd love to hear from you.
  • You do not need to have your own biological children.
  • There are no age restrictions to foster. We have caregivers ranging from 23-83 years of age.
  • Both single people and married couples are welcome
  • We love diverse populations so that we can try to meet the cultural and linguistic needs of all children

making a Difference

Our foster families are an AMAZING group of people who dedicate themselves to providing short term or longterm care to children who are in need of a safe and nurturing place to live.

Some of our foster parents have jobs outside of fostering while others do not.

Foster parenting is an extremely rewarding experience that has a lifelong, positive impact on everyone involved.
