Child Care Services

Child care is widely available for young children and their families in Northwestern Ontario. Child care providers are provincially regulated to protect the health, safety and well-being of children. 

The main types of licensed child care in Ontario are:    

• Private child care centres
• Community child care centres (not-for-profit centres)
• School age child care
• Home based child care

If you need help to find a licensed child care provider in your local area, visit the Ontario Ministry of Children & Youth Services or your nearest Ontario Early Years Centre.
