CHILDCARE IN THE NEAR NORTH

Many families benefit from childcare and family support services located within our school buildings.  And, while each location may offer different programs, all are designed to provide children and their families with an opportunity to learn and grow, providing a more convenient approach to school and childcare, with fewer transitions for children and families.

For general information about child care options in Ontario, please visit the Ministry of Education’s website: www.ontario.ca/childcare.

Near North District School Board (NNDSB) provides a variety of child care options for children from the age of 0 to 12. We offer these programs in schools throughout the region to make it convenient for you to find reliable childcare.

Determining Viability:

Each Spring, a survey entitled “The Childcare Program Needs Survey” is available to all families in the region in both digital and paper versions.  The goal of this survey is to understand the needs for childcare programs for school-aged children and to assist with child care program and service planning. The data collected from this survey is used to determine childcare program feasibility and the types of programs required.

EarlyON Programs

EarlyON centres offer free, high-quality drop-in programs for families and children from birth to 6 years old. Due to the on-going and evolving COVID-19 pandemic, some programs may not be operating at regular times or with regular capacity. Please reach out to your EarlyON Centre to confirm programming and pre-register for your participation.
