During the current strike at schools in the Toronto District School Board, the Toronto Parks and Recreation Department is offering alternative care for school-aged children. Registration for alternative care began on Sunday, April 22. Families who have registered for programs through Toronto Parks and Recreation, should have their client and family number with them when they call. If parents do not have one, they will be given one upon registration.
Families can pay by credit card, cheque or cash.
If you cannot afford the cost of care, please request information about a fee waiver. If you are a student and experience other financial difficulties due to the cost of alternative care, please contact your college or faculty registrar for a grant application. If your child is enrolled in a childcare centre in a school, please contact the childcare centre's supervisor to find out what arrangements have been made for your child during the strike.
