Child Care and Before-and After-School Program Resources

In alignment with P.022 Early Learning & Care Policy  the TDSB supports more than 370 independently operated, fee-based child care and before-and after-school programs in our schools. These programs serve children from birth to age twelve, though ages served varies by location.

 This web page provides resources and information to schools, child cares and before-and after-school programs in the TDSB to support a collaborative approach to support early years programs in schools.
