The region is extending emergency child care centres to help provide families with the support they need as the province remains under a province-wide lockdown.
Emergency child care for school-aged children is now available until Jan. 25, which offers free care for eligible health care and frontline workers so they can provide essential services amid COVID-19.
“We are pleased to support the extension of emergency child care to eligible families in Durham,” says Lisa McIntosh, Durham Region’s director of children’s services. “We are confident that Registered Early Childhood Educators will continue to work with parents to support children’s engagement in remote learning while providing a welcoming, inclusive and safe environment.”
