In Ontario, child care for more than five unrelated children must be licensed by the Ministry of Education under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014. Licensing covers health and safety, staff qualifications, ratios and program standards. Every facility in this directory carries an active licence number in the provincial dataset.
Program options describe the schedule a facility is licensed to offer — not an age band. Full Day means six or more hours in a day, Half Day is less than six hours, and Before/After School covers wrap-around care around the school day. Some sites also offer extended, flexible or weekend hours.
CWELCC is Ontario’s province-wide fee-reduction program. Participation is managed separately and is not part of this public facility dataset, so we do not state whether any individual facility takes part. Ask each daycare directly and check the Ministry of Education for current CWELCC details.
Most licensed centres run their own waitlists and many fill months in advance, especially for infant and toddler rooms. Apply early, join several lists in your area, and confirm your spot regularly. Use the city pages here to shortlist nearby licensed options, then contact each one to ask about availability and waitlist fees.
