As of March 28, 2022, Ontario signed onto the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) Agreement, which aims to reduce child care fees for families. Eligible child care fee refunds for families whose child care operator has opted into the program by September 2022 will be retroactive to April 1, 2022.
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.
