Toronto Operating Criteria

The Toronto Operating Criteria is a tool used to assess quality.

• Operating Criteria for child care centres
• Critères d'exploitation de la Ville de Toronto pour les garderies
• Operating Criteria for family support programs
• Operating Criteria for special needs resourcing agencies
• Operating Criteria Guidelines for special needs resourcing

January 2013 - The Operating Criteria for family support programs has been finalized and will be used for the 2013 assessment of these programs.

December 2012 - We would like to thank everyone who participated in our Fall 2012 consultation sessions regarding the combined Infant/Toddler Criteria.  Centre supervisors, child care operators, the Francophone & Aboriginal child care communities and an academic panel provided valuable feedback and many of the comments and suggestions have been incorporated.

Next Steps:  Early in 2013, OISE - Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto - will conduct a validation study of the combined Infant/Toddler criteria.  We expect the results to be available later in 2013 and we look forward to updating you at that time.
