Understanding this data
City quality score (AQI)
Toronto assesses every licensed program yearly against its Assessment for Quality Improvement standard — staff-child interactions, programming, safety and nutrition — scored out of 5. We show each program's score and use the lowest as the headline, so a centre can't hide a weak program behind a strong one.
CWELCC — $10/day child care
This centre is enrolled in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care system, which caps parent fees for children under 6 at participating centres. Enrolment is per-centre and voluntary.
Fee subsidy
This centre is not listed as accepting the City of Toronto fee subsidy. The subsidy is income-based help paying for licensed care — immigration status is not a requirement, and newcomers can apply without a Canadian tax return in their first year.
How it compares in Willowdale
- One of only 12 centres in Willowdale licensed for infants — infant spaces are the scarcest in the city, so waitlist early.
- Willowdale has 36 licensed centres in total (32 in CWELCC).
How to apply
Contact the centre directly to ask about openings and join the waitlist — (647) 676-6290, or apply via the centre's website.
Waitlists are per-centre — applying to several early is normal. How Ontario waitlists work.
On your tour, ask: waitlist length for your child's age group, educator credentials and turnover, the screen-time policy, and total monthly cost after CWELCC/subsidy. Our full, printable daycare tour checklist covers what the research says to look for — Ontario ratios, kindergarten readiness, and the questions that separate marketing from practice.
