Whether you need child care because you are working or attending school or simply because you would like an early learning opportunity for your child, licensed child care offers children opportunities for play, socialization, exploration and age-appropriate learning in a nurturing and safe environment.
 |
There are over 900 licensed child care programs to choose from in Toronto. These child care centres and home child care agencies are licensed by The Ministry of Education under the Day Nurseries Act.
|
They are required to meet standards related to health and safety, children's activities, child to staff ratios, group sizes, caregiver training and the physical environment.
Toronto Children's Services is committed to helping you find quality licensed child care and early learning opportunities for your child.
