Ontario Child Care

Ontario offers a range of child care options to support families with young children. These include licensed child care centres, home-based child care, and before-and-after school programs. Licensed providers must adhere to the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 (CCEYA), which sets standards for health, safety, and quality of care.
