Quality, dimension by dimension
The city scores each program on ~20 specific dimensions — from Books and Language & Literacy to Electronic Media Usage. Scores below 3 require corrective action; we show both the finding and the fix, with the city-wide average for comparison. There is deliberately no combined score: you know which dimensions matter most for your child.

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 accepts 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 Etobicoke-Lakeshore
- Its lowest program score (3.73/5) is below the Etobicoke-Lakeshore median of 4.17/5.
- Etobicoke-Lakeshore has 65 licensed centres in total (49 in CWELCC).

How to apply
Contact the centre directly to ask about openings and join the waitlist — (888) 739-4102, 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.
