Expression of Interest to Operate an EarlyON Child and Family Centre

Additional EarlyON Program Funding for Ward 14, Toronto-Danforth

In June 2019, an EarlyON Centre located at Blake Street Public School was closed due to space constraints. To maintain service in the ward, the City is inviting applications for additional funding from EarlyON Child and Family Centre service providers currently operating EarlyON Centres in Ward 14, Toronto-Danforth

There is $60,000 in operating funding available annually. The expectation from service providers is to establish a new EarlyON Centre at St. David’s Anglican Church (49 Donlands Avenue). The rent for this location has been estimated at $1,200 per month but would have to be negotiated with the Church.

The Expression of Interest application will require organizations to detail how they plan to spend the $60,000 in additional operating funding, including information on additional service hours to be offered, program frequency, proposed staffing and a program model that meets the unique needs of the community.
