Emergency Child Care for Essential Workers Available for School-aged Children
Mar 23, 2021
Licensed child-care centres are now providing care to school-aged children of essential workers. This will support essential workers who are not able to accommodate their school-aged children’s learning or care at home due to ongoing school closures in the community.
The City of Greater Sudbury supports child-care operators in providing this service, however, parents may still have to pay a partial fee, based on before and after school rates.
Emergency child-care services are reserved for children of essential service workers, as identified by the Province of Ontario, who do not have the ability to work from home and have no other alternatives. The list can be found here: https://www.ontario.ca/page/enhancing-public-health-and-workplace-safety-measures-provincewide-shutdown#B.Workers who require emergency child-care are encouraged to verify whether they meet the provincial eligibility requirements by visiting COVID-19: https://www.ontario.ca/page/enhancing-public-health-and-workplace-safety-measures-provincewide-shutdown#section-9. If they meet these requirements, they can contact an emergency child-care provider from the list below to register their child(ren) for care.
