From January 4 to February 9, 2021, the Province of Ontario prohibits child care centres from providing service to kindergarten and school age children. During this time, Emergency Child Care Services are available for the exclusive use of kindergarten and school age children of essential service workers.
Toronto’s licensed child care system has over 1,000 centres and 19 home child care agencies providing early learning and care for children up to 12 years of age. The City supports quality programs which promote healthy outcomes for all children.
