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.
