Origin
Summary
The Ministry of Education's Schools-First Child Care Capital Retrofit Policy provides $113.0 million over three years to school boards across Ontario. This funding will convert current licensed school-based child care spaces for four and five-year olds to spaces that can be licensed for younger children, birth to 3.8 years (before kindergarten age). Under the policy, school boards must work jointly with municipalities to determine how they will use the funding. This report outlines the process and criteria used for determining schools recommended for capital investment under the provincial policy.
This report identifies sites selected in the first phase of this policy in the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) and Toronto locations in the Conseil Scolaire Viamonde and Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud. Toronto District School Board (TDSB) facility staff are still finalizing their plans and acquiring necessary approvals within the board.
