With the approval of the Ontario government, the City of Toronto is opening two additional licensed child-care centres to provide care for the children of essential workers who are on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.
One centre will open at 34 Bathurst St. on Monday and the second at 1125 Danforth Ave. will open later this week. These two centres are in addition to four centres that opened on March 31.
The centres are located in existing city-run licensed child-care facilities and are staffed by City of Toronto child-care workers.
Toronto has seen more than 800 applications since launching the program online. The City has placed nearly 200 children in care so far.
