Network Policies

Our Curriculum

Network’s programs are designed to provide children with opportunities that strengthen their emerging skills and support each child’s needs, abilities and interests.

At Network Child Care Services we believe in the right of a child to pedagogically-supported quality child care, provided by highly trained caregivers. The experience and knowledge of our Early Years specialists, Early Childhood Educators (RECE’s), affiliated Home Child Care Providers, and other support staff are a critical element in the programs we offer.

Network Child Care Services is a non-profit child care organization, licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Education to provide high-quality child care services and programs to children and families in our Early Years Learning and Child Care Centres, Licensed Home Child Care Premises, Before and After School programs and Onsite Event Child Care services across Toronto and the GTA. Network is committed to diligently meeting the legislative requirements of the Child Care and Early Years Act (2014) and surpassing the quality rating indicators in the City of Toronto’s Assessment for Quality Improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What will be my fee for child care services?
Fees: Child Care fees are due in advance of each month’s service and are based on the age of your child and the number of days used per month. Please contact us to inquire about our current rates. Subsidies: Subsidy fee assistance is available for eligible families from the City of Toronto. Click here for information on the Child Care Fee Subsidy
2Is there a wait list I can join?
Yes, families can register their child on the wait list for a specific location, or in general for Centre or Home Child Care. Registration on the waitlist does not guarantee a spot, but it does establish a priority position if space becomes available.
3Are part-time hours available?
Some Centre locations and Home Child Care premises will accept part-time children (minimum of 3 days a week). Some Home Child Care premises have flexible hours and weekend availability. Please use the contact function below to send us specific details.
4Are there any days that you are closed?
Network locations are open year-round, with the exception of statutory holidays and unforeseen public closures (ie snow events, floods, etc.)
5What is your policy for sick kids?
We are supportive of working families and try our best to accommodate their needs, but we also must follow the health standard guidelines provided by Toronto Public Health when caring for children in licensed settings. If a child is mildly ill, but is able to participate in the daily routine of the care space, the child can be in care. More severe illness, including contagious diseases, that may prevent a child from participating fully may lead to a child being excluded from care until he or she is free of symptoms.
6I would like to open my own Home Child Care Location
Your home might be the perfect place to offer licensed Home Child Care through Network Child Care Services. Home Child Care Providers are self-employed contractors who must undergo a rigorous screening and selection process before their premises are approved and licensed as part of the Agency. Network monitors each Home Child Care location on a regular basis and provides training and support to ensure quality child care standards.
