Ontario is exempting certain childcare centres from closure, in order to support nurses, doctors, and frontline care workers.
“During these challenging times, our Government is supporting our courageous frontline workers with emergency childcare centres so they can rest assured knowing their children are being looked after in a safe place,” said MPP Vic Fedeli. “Our frontline workers will have access to safe, local child care centres, making it easier for health care and other frontline workers to do their jobs.”
Nipissing will see the YMCA Woodland Early Learning and Child Care Centre open, and Powassan will see the Fairview Early Learning and Child Care Centre open for frontline workers.
“We know that as health-care and other front-line workers try to keep us safe, they could use help on the home front,” said Education Minister, Stephen Lecce. “That is why we are teaming up with partners to deliver in unprecedented speed child care centres near hospitals and other health care facilities across Ontario.”
