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.
