Toronto Early Learning & Child Care Services (TELCCS)

Our Programs

The City operates early learning and child care programs throughout Toronto for children birth to 12 years of age. We are committed to providing high quality, inclusive programs that support the health, well-being and learning of every child in our care. Where possible, we provide priority access to our services for vulnerable families, including those in receipt of fee subsidy.

TELCCS Waitlist Registration

We encourage families to register early because each Toronto Early Learning & Child Care program has a waitlist.

There are two different ways to register.

1. If you need help with the cost of child care, apply through our Child Care Fee Subsidy application or call 311. This one application will put your name on both the Child Care Fee Subsidy waitlist and the waitlist for the Toronto Early Learning & Child Care (TELCCS) programs you choose.
2. If you are able to pay the full cost of care for a TELCCS program, apply through our TELCCS waitlist registration.
