* * A parent's guide to licensed child care in Toronto *
* *


Whether parents need child care because they are working, attending school or simply because they would like an early learning experience for their child, a licensed child care program plays a vital role in the lives of many of Toronto's families.

With the help of early childhood professionals at the City and in the community, Children's Services has developed A parent's guide to licensed child care in Toronto / Un guide parental sur le service de garde autorisé à Toronto. This guide will help parents understand the licensed child care system, recognize the signs of a quality program and find child care that meets the needs of their family.

The early learning and care that a child receives in a quality licensed child care program allows parents to work or study knowing that their child is well cared for and safe. It also provides a variety of play and learning activities that enhance a child's development and prepares them for school.
